I am working towards asking for a raise next year. Been at the same company 3 years and have only received cost of living raises. But I feel like I'm behind for my experience and skill-level, so I am working on how to best ask for a better raise, otherwise I'm going to have to start looking for a new job I think

Planning on an MBA in the next year or so.

Planning on lining myself up for a promotion in the coming year. I've been documenting my workplace wins and thinking about the case I could make for myself. If I start to feel that a promotion is not in the cards I'll get serious about finding something elsewhere.

I've let upper management know that I plan to stick around for the next several years. Being available as a resource and advocate for other departments will benefit others and me.

OP recently I met with my boss to discuss upward trajectory in my role and talk about what my next steps are.

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
