Second that above,

Just did this after one year at EY out of college

Will add that off cycle turnaround is fast, from first interview to offer took 24 hrs. Therefore keep an eye out at all times for lateral opps. Don’t over look headhunter postings. Some of these firms do entry level placement as well. Happy to chat if you want to ping me on fish

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO.
