Just got promoted to S1 and I am honestly tired of working in public. I am so tired of worrying about utilization, staff over charging hours, manager/director’s unrealistic expectations, pretending covid has no impact on mental health, everything I do will be captured in the snapshot. I constantly feel like I need to be perfect. If it is not because of unstable times like this I would have left the firm by now. I am so tired of paying the price of big 4.

Leave. Im planning on leaving soon. We don't get paid nearly enough for the sacrifice we make. And yes, we make sacrifices in this job.

I know what you mean. I want to leave but on the other hand, my team likes me and I do some of the harder sections, so I know I have decent job security. Worried that if I leave, I'll just be laid off when the new company pulls a FIFO on their employees

likesmart

You mean LIFO but I think you should also take time to reflect if this is something you want to do in the long run (audit forever) or a different career

It’s time to quit lol u get what you want the senior title now leaveeeee

Currently have the FRM title.
I failed CFA level 3 once.

I'm hoping to eventually do CAIA, but only after I'm done with CFA. I'm also hoping to do non-financial certifications, like Certified analytics professional (CAP), and learn about web development.

While I may have the title of manager, I am still an individual contributor. The type of work I do involves quantitative analysis/data analysis/science.

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?
