Question for recruiters. If a candidate has 15 years of audit/accounting experience, what background are companies looking for in various positions? Some examples a) All 15 years in Big 4 b) Around 10 years B4 and 5 years industry c) 3 -6 years B4 and rest industry. Industry experience consists of F1000. What are the roles you’re seeing for these candidates and what experience do you recommend each of them to become more valuable in the market?

For A, the 15 years can seem like it's siloed experience but would be great to look at advisory or controller roles. B is great because they're a hybrid that's versatile. Roles would probably be senior controllership or finance strategy roles. For C, there's a lot of opportunity with this one but would definitely need to upskill or have standout projects.

EY1, appreciate you sharing your path!

Also the big question on the mind of a recruiter for anyone with that much experience post big 4, there’s often a question of whether they can still stomach the grind.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
