That’s the feedback I’ve gotten from networking as well. It’s harder to lateral as a manger idk why though

Maybe transition to accounting advisory and then pivot to industry? I did that and made the move to industry. But that was a couple years ago and this job market is not great. I don’t think the pay cut is because of audit. It’s really the job market. It’s horrible

Others may have had better experience than me but I'm stuck in public accounting partially because of 💰 - any job opportunity I've been finding in-house these days is either a pay cut or wants someone who already has in-house experience.

Agree with the comment on accounting advisory - then industry. I’ve seen a lot of folks do that successfully

Yup, and got paid more too

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.
