You’ll learn to fly in excel and financial statement analysis. Idk what anyone else would be looking for with an accounting background looking to pivot. It’s the only realistic way of pivoting out of bookkeeping / accounting without (a) getting a new career (b) Biz school (c) you (your dad) knows someone. If you can interview and get an offer, do it.

It’s going to be a lot of work coming from risk advisory. However, if you’re dead set, I’d open my search to any firms hiring. The experience trumps the size of the firm.

The value proposition in fdd is higher imo. Audit isn’t hard but it’s hard for me to care because it’s not as intellectually stimulating.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
