Hi fishes,
I am in PwC AC Bangalore in management consulting in DDV. Do they reimburse for the CFA level 1 exam? If yes, what could be the clause?

Anyone else feel like they got into the wrong line of work? I like my co-workers but hate audit work and I am not excited about any of the long term jobs I've seen people take. I feel like I would do better in a trade but am nervous to just throw away my degree/experience/CPA. Just curious if anyone ever overcame similar feelings.

Do I need to hire a career coach?

I’m new to the cybersecurity industry, professionally speaking (I did/do a lot for family and close friends). I’ve completed a boot camp, which I regret doing. I have certifications for companies such as Qualys and ISC2, but no CompTIA security+ yet. I tailor my resume to position descriptions. It’s been a month or so, without any offers. What would you suggest that I do to get my first entry level position?

I work in sales as a coordinator and do a bunch of paperwork with customers online. I LOVE PEOPLE but dread going to work everyday (wfh 3x a week) because the environment is toxic. I just found out that the only positive manager on my team is leaving. I am spiraling. I have a BS in Health Science (no chemistry classes taken and minimal biology education). Where are people happy in their careers? What careers are best for young women with ADHD? Who’s hiring?

May not be correct bowl but my brother is home for holidays and my gosh this kid is so weird. Here’s the back story he always has a opinion no matter what you say and he fights with everyone (parents me grandparents) and he just talks in a very I’m smarter than you attitude and imo he seems very toxic. I know he doesn’t have many friends so I feel bad so I try being nice to him since he is my brother but man it’s hard cause he is so toxic. He just always raises his voice and is so undermining.

Let me know if you have any leads.

Considering an in-house position at a firm client (firm is not aware of my interest), and I have worked directly with the AGC that would be my supervisor. Thoughts on reaching out to the AGC directly to convey interest?

Is it possible to be a “silent” investor (party A) with a friend who’s an accredited investor (party B)investing in a company? So if B is investing $50k in a company, and A wants to give B $25k of that investment, is this possible with an agreement between A and B, where they’re responsible for their own portion of taxes?

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Any suggestions on resources for corporate contract drafting? I have been largely responsible for employment matters and basic contracts.

Anyone who has transitioned from M&A work to finance work, how has your experience been? I am considering a similar transition and would love to learn about any changes to your work/life balance, stress-levels, etc.
