Whats the typical YOE requirement to obtain a Assistant Controller or Controller Role at a Private Equity Firm? Is it better to exit public earlier as an assistant controller and spend a few years in industry working your way into the controller role or try to exit public directly to a controller role?

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with.

Hello everyone,
