Worked as an analyst for 2yrs but never felt things came to me naturally. Insight generation was a challenge beyond “X went up by 10%”. Tried to learn SQL but never finished cause it was so boring. I’ve switched to being receptionist and am considering becoming an EA as I am good at admin tasks. I’d love to stay in analytics but feel it’s not for me. I would not be happy being an EA long run. Should I explore other types of analyst roles or move on?

KPMG Lighthouse for SWE - can someone help explain levels & what a potential offer could look like?

Is level purely based on YOE? I applied for SA but I've seen others say their offer was given at A if they felt there wasn't enough experience. Does interview performance matter?

How is YOE calculated? Years in SWE, years in consulting? Does work time in other industries count at all for those who switched careers?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
