Is fidelity very selective? I applied for a financial analyst role but was rejected. For context, I have 1 YOE in audit and am a CPA.

It took me 6 years to land a financial analyst role With a heavy accounting background. Network. Use linkedin like a fiend and apply correctly to jobs aka if they want a cover letter make one.

I’m thinking I might go into FDD and then use that as leverage as it’s better experience than audit.

It totally depends on the role. Some, you just need a pulse to get hired, others, they are looking for Ivy League, top of class, candidates. And it helps if you’re female or a person of color.

If he works directly with somebody there, it will help. I got a client’s son a job at a fidelity phone site years ago.

Every company is quite selective. Financial analyst roles are normally hard to break into. You should get more experience and do good on the interviews.

You should apply for the entry level roles to get the foundation licenses. Need the SIE, 7 and 63 to do most roles here.

Yes. But other fields are selective too. It's just that fidelity relies heavily on certain background or experience.

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
