Audit chose me

As someone who worked in audit then switched to tax, I would say audit leads to better exit strategies from public accounting if you find that public accounting is not for you. In my region, I see job postings all the time for Senior Accountants, Accounting Managers, Assistant Controllers, Controllers, and Directors. It’s rare to see many jobs available in industry for those of us in tax, and when those jobs are available, they are super competitive. Personally, I found audit to be very boring and tax made more sense in my brain.

Yes, I had a previous boss who told me this. I didnt believe him at the time because I thought he was steering me away from industry. However, after working in PA for 11 years, I’ve found it to be true.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
