Need Advice! Mid-tier Valuation Advisory to Banking? I have an offer from a midtier accounting firm (BDO, RSM, GT) for their Associate position in the Valuation Advisory team.

I’m thinking to switch to the Advisory role, and to use this role as a stepping stone to break into banking, or if that’s not possible then go into Big4. However, will be getting 25% pay cut if I move.

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

Couldn’t you land a big 4 FDD role? It’ll open a lot more doors into banking for you. Heard of even BB hiring straight out of big 4

Never mind! If you’re coming out of college. That’s a really good move.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).
