New Senior 3 here, I am unsure what I should try to specialize in out of the FAAS offerings. They all sound pretty interesting, and it seems like most manager+ level are aligned with a service pillar. Which of the below would provide best exit opp / pay?

1. TAAG: Technical accounting
2. Transactions: Assume this is deals support like CMAAS?
3. ESG and Sustainability
4. Finance Optimization (ERP Implementation)
5. Treasury / Risk Management / Financial instrument (not sure about details tho)

No idea what that pays but s3 is 128, 135 or 142 base depending on location

How long have you been there so far? I’m an incoming FAAS S2 and curious about how the onboarding process and work load has been so far!

like

Oh okay thanks for the insight! What have the hours looked like for you since transferring?

Assuming that “Transactions” is just core FAAS, I would personally do that. TAAG is very specific and technically obviously and CCASS (ESG) is still a newer practice so maybe some opportunities there. FO is pretty interesting too tho

like

The transaction group is mostly PMO work I think, although I SMs+ have good technical knowledge

like

Not really. We spend a lot of time creating financial models for carve, ppa, pro formas etc

Core faas is:
1) ECRA - debits/credits/policy
2) transaction support
3) Finance Optimization - data and tech

I’d say manager + align and get tapped into as SMRs based on experience. However - we don’t only do certain projects. Everyone including PPED is expected to have a book that is generalized.

Your alignment would also be generalized. You could be tapped into based on your experience in each type of project spread across the 3 clusters.

Also curious to what would provide good wlb as well. It feels like the deals one would be good for pay but have bad wlb?

TAAG is remote I heard

I'm in TAAG and yeah we are totally remote

like

Are they letting you choose?

I kind of see it as even if they prefer to have me on something else, I'll just network and support campaigns to get my foot in the projects that I am interested in

It’s not about that - if you don’t yet know what they are as S3, try to get exposure to a few that sounds interesting to you soon, and pick the ones that plays to your strength and aligns with your interests. You’re about to be a manager and you’ll want the opportunities that can lift you up. The practice is very supportive as long as you vocalize your interests. Exit opportunities/pay follows your performance

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
