Which got the better exit opp for finance? Audit, FAAS or FDD?

I'm an SVP/strategist with 25 yrs exp., but only 3 years in healthcare. I'm being recruited for a GSVP "account leadership" role (i.e., not on the strategy team) for two big unbranded campaigns. It sounds great, they know my med/reg comms exp. is very light, and I think I can do the job, but: Is there a real future for me on the account side if, at GSVP level, I still haven't done much meg/reg? Would this be the end of the line for me, with limited mobility because my expertise is too narrow?

Which is better in ZS vs Eli Lilly across work, culture, WLB and growth. WLB being the most important since I have other plans in life. I have heard the growth at Lilly is slow but can someone give more clarity around growth. How will the hikes look like?

Any one make a move from fund admin after big 4 assurance and then was able to make a pivot to a PE fund accounting team? I am considering moving to a fund admin now. Have 9+ years of big four experience. Worried that I can get stuck in fund admin. But I have interviewed at several big name pe shops and make a few rounds on interviews but then get the same feedback that they are worried about my lack of operational experience.

Getting ready to study for the CAMS exam. Do I need anything extra besides just studying the study guide and practice exam over and over. I’ve read online about people using AML assassin; is it worth it?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Anyone have relevant experiences they want to share?

Hey guys, I just found this group and I’m hoping for some guidance/advice! I’m hoping to get into one of the Big 4s or MBB and finally got a few referrals once joining FB. I am 29, have an MA in IOP, and 10 YEO. I have never worked for a non-Jewish company (despite trying pretty damn hard to get out) and I’m freaking out. I have no concept of normal professionalism, strategy for navigating the workplace and the real world in corporate USA,(cont. in comment)

not sure how to position myself to pivot into tech. would love some thoughts/roles that come to mind.

i feel like i’m in a nice venn diagram of skills. i’m technical, client facing, and have decent business sense (i think lol).

2 YOE in analytics at an ad agency. i do work around market research, media reporting, and incrementality (store visits, brand lift, etc).

stack: alteryx, tableau, spss, excel.

i can kinda read and write sql/python, but rusty from not using it in my day to day.

I was offered a promotion but due to internal policies the max comp they could offer was way under market value. I countered and was denied. I took time to think about it, being disappointed I applied for other jobs. Monday came and I decided to accept the offer. A week before starting my new position I got a call for one of the jobs I applied for. I am now going through to the last round of interviews the same week I start my new position. Would it be bad practice to accept another offer now?

Visitng Canada this summer, Vancouver or Montreal ? Suggestions please!

Looking to leave Big4 after I make manager this summer. I know the consensus is to not tell your team but I have a close relationship with manager and partners. They are planning staffing for next years audit. Should I be transparent or stay quiet? I’ve heard the team will start reducing hours and I might get thrown on crappy clients.

Would you switch from PwC Assurance to PwC IFS? (IFS is an internal accounting role). What would be the pros and cons? Especially if you hate audit.

Is hiring out as an S2 for a Senior Accounting role at a start-up for $105K with stock options for their hopeful IPO in the “next 3 years” a good opportunity? I can’t decide if working for a company trying to go public would be a nightmare or not

I recently worked with a recruiter from Robert Half for a position they contacted me about but I ended up not getting an offer. Recruiter mentioned that if I am interested in other job listings they can help me get more information, etc. My question for you all, what are the pros/cons of getting them involved with getting more info about listings I see? The experience I had with RH was mostly positive. I think the negatives were with the company and not RH.

Better to leave big 4 as a senior 1 or manager 1?

Does anyone know how much salary does a tax senior in industry make in the market now?

I’m tailoring my resume and cover letter to each job and I have my CPA but not hearing anything back. Is it because I only have 1 yr and 4 months of experience not including my busy season internship and college work experience?

Thinking on transitioning from auditing to transaction advisory. Currently a 1 yr senior. Anyone that can shed some light as to day to activities, compensation expectation and interview process would be great.

Would going from Risk Assurance at a Big 4 accounting firm to a Staff Accountant position in industry be a wise career move? I think the Staff Accountant position would be better suited for my interests and life, but it’s almost as if I’m starting over on a new path after getting a couple of years of experience in Risk Assurance.

Are most people still targeting 20%+ increase to jump from public to industry? I found a job that seems kind of interesting but it would only be a 10% jump, which will likely be my raise in public this year. The recruiter said 8–10% is pretty typical in my area.

Would appreciate any input. My friend is transitioning to another job. She’s put 4-week notice in accordance with her contract. However, seems like her employer is giving her hell for such “short notice”🤷‍♀️ There are concerns for her due to small industry in this area. Potential retaliation? Is there anything I could recommend her? She still has 4 weeks with them 🤦‍♀️

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? I took the LSAT when I was a first year associate and got a 168. At this point, the score expired and would need to retake. I know law is riskier than audit. 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?

If I’m making 65k in my first year of audit, should I jump ship now before I reach senior for a job as a “senior accountant” with 85-95k comp? Or should I wait until I reach senior associate and then jump to the same 90-100k range?

Thinking about leaving Big 4 and going into internal audit (currently about to be a Senior in Assurance).

I like working on controls/SOX much more than substantive. I thought about switching internally to advisory and doing internal audit but not sure what the best move is.

I don’t see myself ever doing a technical accounting role or any financial accounting roles. Ideally I would like to transition to more business operations type of roles throughout my career. Any advice is appreciated!
