When is leaving too early? I’m an A2 with an offer to go work as a fund/financial reporting analyst. Is this more of a lateral career move? I’m still unsure what I want to do with my career, but I know it’s not public accounting. Are there other opportunities to pivot from there? It’s a large public financial, investment, insurance company. If the pay is there (going to request a 35% raise), should I do it? I’ve always been interested in FP&A/Financial Analyst and I know the role isn’t exact...

...But I feel like it’s closer to those roles than being in audit?

The average FR analyst and financial analyst do the same thing, so you want to be careful there. I personally think people shouldn't leave that early unless they've found their dream job at their dream company. You get so much more backing saying you were a senior at big four than saying you were a staff. Everyone knows staff just tick through things, whereas when you're a senior you actually start to think and lead a bit more.

For B4 - For teams with temp (contractor) seniors - I’ve noted that they are held to the same work quality standards of normal full time seniors, while not getting any of the senior trainings or perks that would go with that perm role (just some basic survivals trainings at best), nor the access to the perm positions once they prove they can do the job. Then heard they are viewed as little higher than outsource teams (i.e., the offshore teams only given non-judgmental work). What’s your opinion?
