No because I'm not smart, creative, or a gambler.

I got into accounting cuz it's a stable middle class lifestyle, not cuz I'm a risk taker.

I'm not upset about it. Just honest with myself.

It’s a dream of mine but I wouldn’t be able to handle it if I was broke at 40. I’d just think “what if I just grinded in PA and I would be partner by now” but that’s my personal problem I guess

No. Too much risk.

Their individual level of risk tolerance.

Currently working as a process engineer in switzerland (south east). Salarys and Rent are Medium High. Current salary around 80k. Trying to switch to sales (same company).

That they are looking for a junior isn't to bad, because i have no experience in sales (customer contact yes, but no sales) What salary can i expect?

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay? The gap will never be closed to the top pay scale at my firm but when I decided to come to this firm the pay difference was about 15 percent and not 30. Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
