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 folks, I've been offered for the role of devsecops engineer at cisco. I have put my resignation last day is on October and my current company is asking if i could consult for them on hourly basis if possible. I thought of asking my cisco HR but thought I could ask here. Is there any constraints which stops us from consulting? Will it conflict with the cisco contractual policies? Any leads would be appreciated.

Why would you make people waste so much time on your stupid assessments before asking expected salary range?!
