Need some advice, I’m an experienced audit staff looking to transition to FDD or Valuation after busy season. Does it make sense to make the jump at the staff level or should I wait for the senior promotion? Also which one of these two areas would give me a more valuable/transferable skill set? I’m not sure what I want to do long term yet, but I know I want to work in a client facing role and not exit to industry.

Hey, looking for a career switch to an analysis position. This is my third shift; my first job was an analysis role so im not entirely new to the field. Particularly interested in Business Analysis. I have done some short BA foundation courses from LinkedIn, have used SQL and advanced excel, conducted UATs, learned Tableau, although i do still have other skills to learn. total exp: 2 y 10 m
I had applied to several companies but havent heard from any. Can someone help me figure out a way ahead?

My younger brother has the opportunity to do Software Engineering at FAANG and consulting at MBB as a fresh grad. I told him to do SWE, but I’m afraid I’m giving him biased advise cause I’m jaded in this industry. If you were me, what would you advise him?

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.

How long does it take to complete background verification and onboarding activities from client side???

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

So I start my new role as Revenue Cycle Manager, South Bay Division in about 2 weeks! I’m super nervous. I’m scheduled to meet with the Senior Director and the East Bay team. This will be my first real management job leading a team. Any advice for a new manager? Training tips?

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
