Is it hard for an audit senior to leave and get an FP&A analyst role? Every recruiter is saying no way and trying to push me into IA or financial reporting.

No that’s a very manageable pivot, especially in this job market. I’d try applying without recruiters to be honest. At least those. Don’t settle for a recruiter that’s just going to try to fit you into a posting they’ve already received.

It’s a harder pivot than what they’re pushing for but it still happens pretty frequently. Your recruiters are just being lazy since they want the quick commission that comes with a faster placement. Absolutely apply on your own to some roles

I will say that having some industry experience beforehand definitely helps but I wouldn’t say it’s a must. You should be sure to pitch any project management experience you’ve gained as a senior

Would having a masters degree in MIS help me or does it even matter?

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

So, here it is. I was having joining on last week October as a senior analyst data science in Tiger Analytics. Today I got an call from HR that due to economic recession we are going to delay your date of joining by 2 months. My notice period was of 3 months. So total duration would be 5 months. Infact even after that too they didn't send me revised offer letter. There is something wrong with this company.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.
