Where to go for career advice? I’m an audit senior, not enjoying PA, intrigued by finance/FP&A, but not sure if it’s wise to jump from PA to those due to starting over in new field/compensation impact

Is there someone more senior you work with that you feel comfortable talking to? If not I am happy to chat with you. But my take without knowing your situation is think long term. If you can’t see yourself being an audit partner then start thinking about a move. If you think you would be happy in finance, then start applying for those roles. I find the process of looking for a job to be very eye opening. You will likely not take a comp hit, but you would be starting over and be the more junior person but that’s just a short term problem which could solve a longer term one. It’s also good to speak to people who are already in the field you want to get into. I know a few I could put you in touch with if you want (in NYC - not sure where you are located). Good luck.

Hello, I have 4 years of experience between Financial decision support and pricing. However, I feel like my experience is too narrowed to how my current company operates. I am looking to pivot into consulting at one of the big4 ( for ~2-3 years)or any other consulting firm to have a well rounded experience that could be applicable to any industry. Any advices ?or thoughts ?

I got interviewed at KPMG and got positive feedback. I am offered consultant position and was asked to share my documents with expected salary. It has been 3 days now and no has called me negotiation any further. Is it normal that it may take this much time or is it possible they can close the position internally without giving me an offer letter?
