what is the best career opportunities for audit Senior 2s in big4 ? Not a fan of technical accounting and not sure how long I should stay in PA. Thank you!

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?

Looking to grow my current skills set in Health IT/IS as an data analyst. I've currently working on the IBM Data Analyst Professional Certificate. Enjoying the work/learning so far. 🤗

What other courses are out there?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
