Really tough to get senior financial analyst unless it’s an accounting role dressed up as a FP&A role

Definitely look out for these roles. When i was looking, multiple financial analyst roles have duties like booking JE's, performing reconciliations, etc. I was super lucky and got a FP&A role with 0 accounting and it was the perfect move for me.

I exited as S1 to senior FP&A. It's doable but most people are at least S2 to make the jump. You're probably looking at analyst level and then hopefully promoted from within soon after.

Are hours and workload the same in financial analyst roles compared to audit? Looking to make a similar jump.

The person before me left the role because they got a manager position after around 2 years in my role. It's definitely not laid out as plainly as public accounting, but I'm not too worried about it right now. I haven't even been in the role for a year yet and I'm making $25k more than at EY so life is good right now.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
