Recruiter reached out about an investment accounting associate position. I’m not familiar with that field so am currently googling.. Does anyone here have any insight about what investment accounting is like? Pros and cons?

highly specialized accounting that isnt transferable much elsewhere. Rolling forward last months data and refreshing with current month activity to report on a fund's performance, etc. Its mechanical and the same thing over and over again. Same thing with real estate accounting, avoid those too.

Do something real in an industry like industrial products, software, banks, etc

Haha thanks for the input y’all! No plans on leaving my current job just yet but was curious

IDK how long you've been @ PwC. You need to put in at least the years for it to be recognized on your resume.

Recruiters will continue to contact you and they usually do not understand the position they are trying to fill.

Personally, I always ignored them until I was ready to look for a change. There are always opportunities...uh, uh.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up
