I’ve never worked in industry but applied and got an interview for a finance business partner role?

Is this like a finance manager and what is the wlb like?

I am just a bit stressed as I haven’t had managerial titles or worked with accounting systems so want to know what I could be in for

Congrats on the interview! A finance business partner role can be similar to a finance manager, but with more focus on strategy and working with other teams. WLB can vary a lot by company. Do some research on STAR method questions typically asked for that role, and practice describing how your experience can translate to this different role.

Hello everyone, need a help from you.

Previously my HRA amount was 96000 per annum so I was submitting a rental agreement of full hra without giving pan card details of myself and first party.

Now I have recently joined a new company and here hra is 2.7LPA.

How can I claim the full hra amount? I live in a rented house where agreement is between owner and my dad. Also owner will not accept for a fake agreement too.

Any other alternative do I have to claim HRA? Your inputs are welcome here

Is it weird that I get annoyed whenever my boss subtly implies that I should apply what I've learned in my graduate program to work?

There are many other factors as to why I feel this way (no promotions in past couple of years, entire team leaving job, having conversations about growth opportunities but nothing becoming of it each time).

Yesterday I also wrote an email to the HR who scheduled the interview but still no update.

Should I consider that I am not being selected?

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience.

I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

What does a person do who doesn’t find any industry accounting jobs interesting? I’ve been trying to leave for 3-4 years and the only thing that interests me is people focused roles such as sales. I considered recruiting but I’m jaded based on my interactions with most. Public accounting is a decent spot for me but I’m wanting a more consistent schedule of 40-50 and the self centered/dog eat dog culture of my firm continues to crush my soul more and more the longer I stay.
