Which exit would be better long term:
- Accounting manager for someone like Blackstone or Starwood
- FDD

Currently an audit manager with 6.5 YOE. Leaning more towards FDD as I think it would be more interesting.

At your level, FDD or consulting in general still pays more than accounting, however, if you were to stick linger and exit as an SM or above, those corporate executive roles pays much much more than the same level in consulting.

Depends what you want to do. Would probably pick FDD

I have been offered a position in-house at a $500M-$1B company, mid-sized city LCOL, 10 YOE in private practice. They offered me $120k, w opp for undefined discretionary bonus. No paid parental leave or 401(k) match & only 1 week PTO in first year (but claim they have discretion for more). Is there any way to salvage this? Salary guides suggest TC should be around $200-215k. I want to get my foot in the door but this seems crazy low.

Hi I work in patient finance and I am desperately bored with my job. I have a bachelors which isn’t a requirement for my role. I have been applying non stop to jobs that do require a bachelors and I am qualified for. Either I don’t get called for an interview or when I do I’m not selected. I have followed up with some of the interviewers and they all told me I interview well. I am so tired of disappointment that I feel like giving up and just settling. I don’t know what to do.

I got to ask. I had my recruiter phone screening and can’t seem to figure out a couple of things.
1. Applied for 2posts. Said Under Consideration for one but was interviewed for a different role. Is this normal?
2. The interviewer didn’t seem much interested to speak to me. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Overall it went average, but I’d like to know if I could reach out this recruiter asking about the application status issue on the job portal!
Thoughts?

This is a question which I'm curious about people's thoughts. Mostly reflecting on the past since I'm way too far in audit to make a career change. Did I make a mistake by not trying for law school?

But a part of me wonders if I'd have been better off (except more student loans) if I went to law school instead of sticking with audit?
