Im curious why you want to make a jump. I mean, seems there's a career path for you at JP and your work is appreciated (hence, the upcoming promotion). Appreciate any insights on what it's like to work at JP as I'm considering to apply there (work environment, pay, bonuses, work-life balance, etc.)

JPM has been fantastic. The brand name, salary, benefits, and colleagues have all been top notch. Depends on what team and division you’re on though. I have heard mixed things from people in other areas.

Currently my growth is limited based on a 3-5 year outlook. With Goldman being such illustrious name on the resume, I would look to boomerang back to JPM in a role with much greater potential.

You will likely be downleveled to associate if you move to goldman

I would speak to people currently in the role at GS. Sometimes, work-life balance has a value that may exceed the financial rewards. I'm happy to hear about JP, I just accepted a position there!

If you don’t value your life outside of work, sure!

Hi,
Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
