Midtier Valuation Advisory to Banking? I have an offer from a midtier accounting firm (BDO) for their Associate position in the Valuation Advisory team.

I’m thinking to switch to the Advisory role as a stepping stone to break into banking in a few years, or if that’s not possible then into Big 4. However, still considering accepting the offer because will be getting a 25% pay cut.

I’ve been working in Sales in a non-finance field for few months after finishing BBA in Finance & CFA L1.
