Usually controller is a senior manager or director, depends on the size of the company. Smaller companies you may be able to go in from Manager. I’d say Senior is most equivalent to an assistant controller. We do CFO Services and are hiring various roles in our practice. Reach out!

If I see a controller role for like a 120k and 5 YOE, I know to stay away from that company because they don’t know how to manage risk.

Usually you would have to have at least a year of manager experience under you to make that jump. At senior level, probably could do accounting manager or assistant controller. Really depends on how well you can sell yourself.

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps.

Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
