You could probably sell coming back as a experienced manager and take a “prove yourself” year to get the SM title after a year

Nope

No they wont

Was good to see the other side of things and how a company actually runs vs Auditors POV.

It’s all about selling engagements at SM level. You have not proven this through your industry role

@EA1 they will probably try that line.

@kpmg1 I think that’s a highly likely scenario. Thanks

TA1 can you tel me your story to get SM1?

OP what's your story on leaving an FP&A Manager role for audit? Interested in what worked or didn't work

Op - not much of a story. Left on great terms, went to a role (corporate accounting in a mining company) that continued my development. Reached out to my former partner when I wanted to come back, had concrete reasons for coming back and how my experience would make be a better auditor. Was offered SM.

@pwc1. Hours are great compared to PA. Typically 50hrs/wk unless quarter end and then there’s some more for items to do for the BOD. However with that also comes with a lot less flexibility. Upward mobility is unpredictable. Sat in meetings where we downgraded certain required roles. Also sat in meetings where decisions are made for no yearly salary adjustment. Tools and resources are limited

@TA1 thanks for your insights

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.

Hi All,

I am 12 yoe, working at a very stable product based organisation (not NEC).
But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

I recently switched company, but now i am realising that the role which i have been assigned is not the one which was offered to me.

I then decided to go back to my previous organization. They are ready to take me back. Salary difference is not much(about 15% less than my current ,but approx 65% from my last drawn salary in my previous org). But i used to love my work and role in my previous organization.i switched because of money.

Is the decision right to go back ?
