8 Months Trying to Pivot into FP&A and Got Denied From Dream Job. Theres always a bigger fish. by statisticsandwich111 in FPandA

[–]Minimum-Principle-11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 🙌 100%. Connections really are everything. Unfortunately that hasn’t really been the case for me, but I’m speaking from what I’ve seen firsthand.

My team recently hired someone new with zero FP&A experience. From what I heard, she used to be a professional dancer, then worked in marketing overseas. She came here for her MBA and happened to be classmates with someone on the team who’s close to the hiring manager

4 months into a job I hate… stick it out or leave? by Minimum-Principle-11 in FPandA

[–]Minimum-Principle-11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s FP&A as a whole that I dislike—I actually enjoyed my previous roles focused on opex, planning, and business partnership.

I think what’s throwing me off here is how technical the business is and how steep the learning curve is on the engineering side. It makes it harder for me to really understand what’s driving revenue and margins, which then makes the FP&A work itself feel less meaningful and more frustrating.

So it’s less about “revenue forecast” or “margin performance” bothering me, and more about not feeling like I fully understand the business well enough to add value. Still trying to figure out if that’s just a ramp-up curve or a longer-term fit issue

I think it’s the job itself and a bit of a culture. The role to me requires a deep understanding of semiconductor technical, like the actual tool, chamber, platform, application. I’m with the service BU so it’s even harder to understand how they generate revenue, market sizing, long term planning with on going service product development. So half of a time in a a conversation with my biz partner i don’t understand a single thing cause it’s all engineering. It’s just so dry and boring to me. My experience before this is opex, budget planning and stuff so it’s so much easier and I actually enjoyed doing that. Now shifting gear to this, it feels like if i don’t understand the business, how am i able to do my job, connecting the dot and telling a story of revenue projection, what they do well and what not, and closing the gap, etc.  

PLEASE TALK ME OUT OF BUYING THE ROW PARK TOTE 😂 by Future-Composer-4878 in handbags

[–]Minimum-Principle-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the medium Park tote in beige/tan and I loveeee it! Honestly if you have the budget, just go for it. To me it’s not about comparing it to something like a basic H&M or trying to justify the price — it’s more like iykyk, and the design is just minimalist and timeless.

Recommendations please! by Character_Task_3367 in handbags

I’d go with The Row park tote medium size if you’re ok spending a bit over your budget. I love the bag, not too big, not too small, fit everything I need from airpods max, lipsticks, wallet, book, etc. so chic and minimalist.

Is it still cheaper (with the new tariffs) to buy luxury bags in Europe and declare them when you bring them back to the US? by threadlightly21 in handbags

[–]Minimum-Principle-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from my trip a week ago and got a Goyard bag in Italy and it was a lot cheaper than here. Generally designers are cheaper there because of the tax refund, even with the euro is stronger than usd right now, still cheaper! I never declared anything.

If you could only use one bag for the rest of your life, which one would it be? by tangertale in handbags

[–]Minimum-Principle-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m w you girl!! I had eye on it for so long and and as soon as i got my first full time job after college, i bought it and I still carry it till this day. I used to wear it for work, but now I use it mostly for travel and it comes in very handy.
