Received an offer from ctg fdd. I am a SM at big four but they want me to come in as a Manager instead of Director mostly because I dont have much BD experience. Is BD experience a requirement to advance to a Director level at A&M or is this CTG specific?

I think Directors at most firms have some sales goals/expectations. Are their Directors at your firm are are delivery only and not actively participating in BD?

How long have you been a SM for? BD isn’t required to get promoted from manager to director but it definitely becomes an expectation after.

Try to push for Director. It could also be hard to ramp up quick enough before year end to get promoted this cycle.

Whats BD?

Business development

Does it to senior director to MD in that group? If that’s the case that’s like 2 steps down?

Senior director is not the same as SM/Director at big4. Its equivalent is Director at A&M. The offer is one step down.

Seems like a bad offer, EVEN if money right now is better

Do you have limited FDD experience by chance? Pivoted from audit later in your career?

Is CTG a name of the firm

Tired of my pharmacy. Every single month I have to call the pharmacy for my Adderall, they say they don’t have any prescriptions for me, they ask for additional information, they magically find it, and then I have to wait like 1 to 8 hours to have it filled. It’s a pointless phone call. Why do I have to repeat these shenanigans every month?! Is it just Rite Aid? Is CVS any better? So irritating.
