Recently joined Facebook - most of my team members have 3-5 YoE while I have ~1 - will this affect my prospects for promotion, i.e. do more experienced hires get promoted faster?

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?

Getting ready to study for the CAMS exam. Do I need anything extra besides just studying the study guide and practice exam over and over. I’ve read online about people using AML assassin; is it worth it?

So who is thinking about leaving/going back to (academia/medicine/law) after 2 years are up? Not sure I want the PL job even though I think I could make a great manager (elsewhere)

Unhappy with my job (Audit)-- what does everyone have their sights set on after putting a few years in? I don't know what I want to do, but also don't really know what's out there.

Is it easy for engineers to become TPMs?

Anyone made a successful switch from the Ad Agency world to consulting early on in their career? What drove you to it, was it worth it? Did you get the professional growth opportunities you were looking for?

My family and I have been looking to move to an island. My spouse works remote and can relocate at any time. My firm has an office on said island, but they don’t pay me enough to live there. I would have to ask for a raise and to be relocated. I love my firm and the Partners that I work for, but I’m thinking of applying to other places that offer a more livable salary for the location. Would you just talk to the Partners at your current firm or look elsewhere?

Serious question, why does going to the gym and doing an intense workout raise my lidio/drive and make me want to run home and and just go to town. 😩🥹

I am a machine learning developer with 4 years experience. I have 2 offers with almost same package, one PepsiCo and other Genpact. Which offer is better in terms of growth-learning and work-life balance ?

What have you found most helpful in training up a very green junior brand planner or junior strategist? Any particular trainings or resources that are great at teaching foundational skills? I’ll be pulling them into projects and teaching through doing but I need some assistance in building up their core skills/training the strategy muscle.

What’s a good amount of time to be at the senior planner level?

How many people get promoted to S1 from A2? Didn’t do well in A1.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

2nd year staff from Big 4 looking for a Staff Acct position?Co pays 70/75k max.CPA not mandatory but pref working on it.High growth env. PERSONALITY important.Hardworking&can put in the hours.Bay Area

Subject matter expert with my CPA. I’m completely fed up with the compliance aspect of public accounting Tax but don’t mind the technical side. Does it make sense to become an attorney to get out of compliance work and still do something related to specialty tax?
Or do I just go the college professor route? Wouldn’t mind working @ BNA or something like that either but I’m seriously fed up with everything about tax compliance and can’t keep doing this

How is @Happay as an organisation for an enterprise sales role? How's job security, product acceptance and T&E learning curve.

Used miles to upgrade from economy to business on United. Was confirmed for the upgrade then just got downgraded back to economy and now there aren’t seats left

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card. I haven’t heard people talk about it in the card community and it could save people a bit of money - 10% cash back. I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

Best windows laptop for b school? Looking for something reliable and fast but won’t break the bank

Weird market movements today! Some wildly up, others falling apart- with no relation that I can see

Come on peeps, let's show the world accountants aren't boring..... or are they?

I interviewed for a CSAM position, I have 12 YOE in MGMT CON / PM work. Any idea of potential package offer / level process? I’m looking for 180K base.

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.

I’ve been at my current job a month shy of a full year, yet I have already seen that there are not a whole lot of promotions or raises to stretch for, but part of that comes from being hired in a little green for the role. I’m currently negotiating salaries on the west coast and am nearly certain we will reach an agreement soon. How do I give my two weeks without burning bridges?

Everyone likes me because I'm a doormat with no boundaries. I do anything and say anything to make people happy. I will think what you think I should think. Will you be my friend?

If I’m at 150k now as an account director, making a lateral move, what’s the most I could ask for?

Anyone else down to bang their boss? Any success/awkward stories about playing with a direct supervisor?

Anyone witness slackers who got into companies you have no idea how? Had a coworker who does jack chit at work besides chatting on Facebook yet lands at a faang company? I guess if he brings the same work ethic he will be spit out for sure. Or maybe he just had no interest in doing project work.

Are corporate finance or pricing dead end ops?

Hello All,

Does anyone know about a non profit organization that does consulting work where I can volunteer and gain consulting skills and experience?

Thanks

4YOE @Amazon & trying to lateral to a similar role @FAANG. Have my undergrad GPA (3.8/4) on resume from top 15 school but colleague says to take it off (looks silly). If it’s a good school & high GPA, why ever take it off your resume? Even if 10 YOE...can’t hurt?

Anyone with experience in negotiating salary willing to dm me? It’s a role I really want to take and still pays well but I definitely don’t want to be leaving money on the table. Also, don’t want to it to be a bad look and get the offer revoked lol

What’s the job(s) with the best trade off of getting paid as much as possible to do as little work as possible?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Is a 5k sign on bonus to low? Offer received from PWC and I feel like the sign on is low compared to what I’ve seen on this app.

Anyone has made exit to Assets Management firm? How’s your experience and job function? Is it difficult for consultants to switch to?

Thank you FB family. After a two year hunt for the right opportunity, I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer at FAANG (TC - 280) . The road wasn’t easy especially the last 2 months. I took the interview overseas (basically 2am - 3 am calls), was recovering from a surgery and finally contracted covid. I got some good advice from folks over here CONTD...

Which resume line would provide better signaling of talent to employers?

MBB? Or a mid cap VC ($500 AUM, not a name brand like Sequoia). Post MBA level at both, no promotions assumed. Not necessarily focused on future VC path over the long term, but interested in experimenting.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

Looking for help to think through exit opportunities:
Big4 Transformation Director, current 220 Base, 10-30% bonus. New York.
Any constructive thoughts on how to pitch transferrable skills to: PE (Ops), Biz Ops, Start Ups or even IB without the modeling experience?

Interested in tech in NYC—open to FAANG, but more interested in series C+ startups that know what they’re doing and can afford to pay. BD, gen mgmt, strategy/ops roles in that order. Any suggestions?

Have an interview with a growth stage startup, what should I wear for a virtual interview ?

Going into final round/loop interview with Amazon and nobody has asked my TC expectations or told me the target for the role yet. Is that standard? Is there a chance one of the loop interviewers will ask me about it?

Hi Fishes,

I will we interviewing with Salesforce for the position for Customer Intelligence Analyst position. Could anyone please guide me with the interview process and difficulty level.

If I decline one FAANG offer for another, Will I get blacklisted at the one I declined??
