My client CFO constantly telling me that they are currently open for hiring an accounting manager, which was not posted on their website yet. Does it mean anything? Or I am thinking too much...

Independence issue

If it's a client you like working with, look into it more. They're not sending out feelers for nothing. Tell her that it sounds interesting and ask if she is looking for someone familiar with the company. Let her know that you're happy where you are, but a good offer could take you elsewhere.

I do like this client, but I know there is an independent issue. But the CFO was not specifically just pointing to me, he is generally referring to "someone has your experience" could be a good match to the position. Anyway, I'm happy where I am at, and I told him that I'll be recurring team member for next year audit.

There's potential for an independence issue - they're not supposed to do that.

They want you to refer friends. The CFO isn't referring to you. Unless the CFO is a complete moron, they don't want to go and get new auditors to hire you into an accounting manager role.

As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
