I’ve recently started working at PwC as and account executive. I have a degree but not in an accounting related field and I’ll be honest I’m not sure I want to go down that route. I do want a career and progression, what options do I have? What routes have other people taken?

Client Administrator?

You can transfer into another service line after few years depending upon your interest.

Is it someone working under a CRE? So IFS, but not an EA? More like marketing

Client strategist?

I had a partner in my office who started in PA by working in the mail room. He eventually got accounting degree and worked in audit. I would say go get a master degree in accounting related field.

Thanks for that! I know a few people who have worked in this role and then moved onto become associates and followed that route to managers/partners. That’s not for me. But I do want a career, trying to figure out what that could be.

I agree with other posters. PwC is a great place to work so get your foot in the door where you can, find what you’re interested in, make connections and move positions when you’re ready.

Hello, I have been with the same company for 17 years. I am a supervisor for a laboratory in patient services. I worked my way up and currently have no degrees. Has anyone been able to work their way up in a company and then find a similar job with another company? I’m nervous that I’m stuck based on the fact that I don’t have a degree.

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?

Cons:
