Ha, he basically said start over 😂. Life’s rough man. But ya, far as I’ve seen FDD exits are traditional starting points for most PE careers, except we never get there. Get into data or something man, finance is dead if you didn’t start in I banking

Hi I have a question. What did/do you think the next option was/is for an FDD manager? Like what did you want to do? No one does FDD for fun

If you’ve done FDD for 3 years you should know IB is even more boring, young bankers (and at any reputable bank you would reset to analyst 1) are literally just overpaid secretaries. PE you can’t get into from FDD unless you have connections, so depending on your social circle that could be an option. I would consider a data transition, I do analytics for FDDs and CDDs and it isn’t as bad and exits ops are better IMO (director of analytics/BI/FP&A/Reporting). Knew a guy who got a VP of operations at a 1.5B aum fund as a 3rd year senior manager

Hi guys I have an offer from Accenture and no issues in terms of CTC, job profile or other things. The only thing I am skeptical about is the job security. Do they really get rid of employees in a regular basis or the covid situation was a one time measure? This would probably be the last switch in my career and security would be of utmost importance to me. Please advise

I know I have to keep going, but I’m finding it hard to keep putting myself out there, and I’m finding it even harder to believe I have anything to offer any firm rn. I’d appreciate any words of encouragement, dog pictures, pick-me-up ideas, etc. Thank you.

Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Interview just for practice?

PwC partners - One of my biggest takeaways is that Directors aren’t taken care of appropriately in the firm. That includes lack of focus on their mental health, their work-life balance, unreasonable metrics, comp and bonus increases, how cohort progression is managed and transparency about the PCLDE process. This is based on my 4+ yrs as a D and talking to several folks at or outside CLEX. Several of us leave due to this - just sharing this feedback to consider.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
