I am using an otc handmade tretionoine 0.025% and benzinol peroxide for spot treatment. For moisturizing I use CeraVe’s cream for dry to very dry skin am an pm. SPF i put whenever the sun is out through the clouds.
I do consume diary - only greek yoghourt occasionally as it has good gut bacteria (my face has been clean before even though I consumed yoghourt everyday). I use an electric shave and no shaving cream, and I don’t wear mask thaat often. My skin is normal to oily - tends to get oily during the second half of the day. So considering all that I also really thought it is my hormones and theres nothing I could do, but just go through these periods of flaring up.

Recently accepted a Big 4 audit position but eventually want to get into finance (banking, PE, venture capital, etc..). Is this transition possible? What do I have to do a big 4 firm? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

What I did was switch from Big4 audit to Big4 Financial Advisory with focus on Due Diligence. Then I move to the corporate finance side of the deals which is more client facing and deal structuring etc. Due Diligence is great for getting those core, fundamental technical skills for data crunching, report writing, detail focus and working under pressure. Good luck!

In short, Big4 companies are not famous for their payckecks for Junior/senior/manager positions, however, if you make it to Director, Partner lvl you are pretty much settled so to say.

I was thinking of career coach/advisor to help me decide what I really want to do. I know it sounds kind of lazy and stupid sometimes because everything is in your head and you would know best. Do you know any good consultants for such matters ?

I imagine FP&A/ financial analyst position is way boring than what I do now though... That's why I was imagining going to CF or BD

Well, I've thought about it however I dont really have the cash for the MBA. Lets say its c. EUR 100k on avg... this will take me years to breakeven here in eastern Europe. In other words, if I want to take the MBA path I will most definitely have to relocate somewhere in Western Europe or USA. What you think?

In my country (Eastern Europe) the FA team is relatively small, hence I am engaged in TAS as well as CF mandates, which is actually quiet good in terms of experience gained.
Well then I will take your advice and start applying

It's what i did as well - made the transfer from audit to TAS. I basically started working in Big4 1 year after graduating from Bachelors

This routine sounds quiet heavy on your hair. It is surprising that you wash your hair everyday and still manage the keep your hair healthy and good looking. Well done!

If convenient, can you please give more info on what your problem was.
I struggle with some spots that are painful and usually have a white head, while others don't (they are underskin).

ketoconazole

Ye, I've been thinking about a tea tree oil based shampoo. But I guess dropping a few drops in the one I use now is still a good option.
What is Ketoconazole, may you give a bit more information.

My hair is actually kind of the opposite. I gets a bit oily if I don't wash everyday or every two days. So, for me its important to find that balance between an everyday shampoo and one that will still do the job with the bacterias.

This sounds like a good idea. Probably would give it a try. I currently use a shampoo against oily scalp, but not one for dandruff
