With 3 YOE, would you rather exit to a role as Executive Assistant to a CEO (large enterprise) or financial/investment analyst at a green infra investment company? Investment opportunity gives 20% higher total compensation. 3 YOE. Why/Why not?

If you’re content stagnating (or will marry at some point and plan on stopping working) then go for option 1. If you’re good at it, the role can be moderately lucrative and proximity to power isn’t a negative.

If you want a proper career trajectory go for option 2

The financial analyst because it’s a higher salary and has more exit opportunities. The executive assistant is a secretary and doesn’t carry as much weight on a resume.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
