The people I’ve seen flex pay normally work half time. Their pay is at least reduced by half, but they end up working more than half time.

You are in a great position to learn a lot and make lots of money if you are strategic and maybe throw in some firm hopping and go on flex time when you start a family assuming that’s what you want and enjoy the work.

They always hire part time senior managers. It’s usually older employees that have been pushed out. So they are seasonal senior managers.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
