Recruiter reached out for a Project Manager role in Finance Transformation in industry and says my experience is a perfect fit, but sounds like it's something more PM based and less analytical. Will it be a good positon for someone who didn't even get good reviews back in finance performance improvement? As well don't like going through the process meetings in consulting and think I might be more suited for numerical analysis focused jobs

Yes, I’m in finance consulting. It could be a good fit but you might be more into finance analytics type work. That could be more of a PMO role

Just wondering what kind of financial analytical jobs are there?

like

Probably not if you don’t enjoy the work.

Nothing to do with your competence, but if you’re unhappy doing that type of work then why plug yourself into that role where you won’t have the option to pursue other types of engagements like you will in consulting?

Well the recruiter said there will be analysis, but more on the process side and rest will be managing the finance transformation project. The position asks for someone with PMP or CPA experience, so is that a giveaway that the job will be more PMO focused? I dont even think i know enough to do the job well lol

Yea UBS is hiring

is this for cushman? i got a request from them for the same type of role lol

No lol, but what's your thoughts on the role? Do you think it's something you'd like to do?
