Welcome friends! Feel free to share anything you would like!

Anyone else struggle with feeling like you’ll never find a job you’re actually good at? I feel like no matter what I do I’ll never actually find my niche.

What is the up or out mentality at BDO? Close to Senior manager and thinking about path to be a partner

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

Starting salary for a creative in Dallas?

If you and your girlfriend went to law school together, were you together the night the bar results came back? What if one of you doesn’t pass / and the other feels like they can’t celebrate?

I've been on keto for 2 months now. Got through the flu fine, but lately when I stand up I've been getting very light headed and need to hold onto something... Thoughts/remedies??

Looking for suggestions on stocks to invest for beginners? Any suggestions on YouTube channels or articles/people to follow to read and stay updated on these things?

I'm a Consulting Associate and have been with RSM since Fall 2020. I make 75k in Chicago - I think I'm underpaid(?). I get DMs from Big4 and I'm thinking about moving firms. Should I wait for the promo/bonus on Aug. 1 or just start looking now? I know for a fact I'll be getting promoted to Senior.

So what's the deal with read receipt requests? Are they timing people once they have that notification? 🙄

Is it bad to not respond to messages by headhunters?

Looking for a opportunity with experienced in Project Management with a demonstrated history of working in the Railway Sector (P-way, Signaling & Telecom) & Civil engineering industry. Skilled in AutoCAD, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), English, Contract Management, and Project Management.

Do you folks work the weekend as well? What is your close calendar like. Anything that makes your company uniquely efficient/inefficient?

For those who have to report on financial performance regularly to either the CFO or related execs: how do you get past the nerves? Honestly my work culture is super chill but I still get anxiety.

Hi all,
I’ve 10+ years experience in accounting/data analysis/management reporting based in NYC. I’m good at wearing different hats, advanced Excel, efficient and organized. I’m also known to be a thorough and patient teacher. I’m looking to transition into a role doing more FP&A with good WLB. Any referrals offered greatly appreciated!

Looking to begin a career in Financial Analytics. I am an Economics major that graduated in Dec 2020. Since then I have been an Operations Analyst at a FinTech company. I also have some past experience as an analyst at a small business lending company in college. I have been applying for jobs for the past ~6 months. I have made it to the final round of a few interviews, but have not received any offers. Does anyone have any advice for me? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

I'm 4 years into my career, currently I work at one of the largest public advisory firms writing research and taking advisory calls with CIOs/CFOs on strategy around IT Cost Optimization, IT/technology finance, benchmarking, budgeting etc. I enjoy the role but fear not being able to do much with this experience. I fear this due to the fact that I simply talk strategy and roadmaps with no technical experience of having ever done these activities myself.

Any tips/advise for a MBA grad that is looking at FP&A career?

Are all the fish in this bowl dead? Did everyone migrate to a better bowl?

I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business. I often feel like I would enjoy client facing or advisory work because it would help me build a skill that could translate to me potentially running my own advisory firm one day… I feel my role just looks at numbers on a page which doesn’t help me develop translatable subject matter skills or expertise. I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?

How many hours a week do you actually work. Sitting in front of a screen working? Also. Are you remote, hybrid of 5 days a week in office. Just gauging other peoples lives ahaha

What’s a typical career growth route for an FP&A analyst? And outside of Business Partnering and Excel skill sets what else is needed to move up the ladder?

What challenges have you all faced in light of COVID and how have you adapted models/forecasts?

I do FP&A work for a manufacturing company, doing reporting, ME close work & sales reports and forecasting. They’re letting me pick my title, I’m not sure what to go with. Is Analyst - FP&A redundant?

Hi everyone, anyone know of opening at their company that will connect? I’ve been doing FP&A work in higher Education for about 6 years and would like to break into Tech/fintech. I have an MBA and all the relevant experience (KPIs, modeling, ad box analysis etc…)

Been with company for 2.5 years in a SFA role, and they just let me hire an associate financial analyst reporting into me. My manager never mentioned anything in regards to a promotion, but when I asked, I was told that there will be an evaluation period before any promotion is given. Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.

Looking for junior FP&A roles at tech companies/startups/anywhere I could work remote at least 3/5 days of the week. 1 YOE in institutional asset management. Anyone know of any opportunities?

I’ve landed a job in a global investment bank for a business analyst in FP&A. I have 1 year of relevant experience. I live in MCOL city, what salary can I accept?

Hey all,

I’m trying to switch over to an FP&A role from a wealth management analyst role. Has anyone had experience doing so, and does anyone have any referrals? Thank you!
