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.

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.

Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?
