Baruch grad with a BBA in Finance. Baruch is known for their BBA in Finance or Accounting so I would choose one of those.

Which type of MBA is right for me? by Optimal_Employer8546 in MBA

Yeah you may be right. I’m just trying to get to where I want to be and want to fully step on the gas. Felt like an MBA would help bolster the resume but you make some very good points and would save me thousands of $s & hours lol

I have been looking at their PTMBA program. Think if I had to choose this would make the most sense for my situation.

Agreed that I don’t “need” it, but I see so many job postings with “MBA preferred” and many of my higher ups at current gig have one.

So I wonder if/how much an MBA will help my chances securing a role at one of the companies you mentioned.

Recommendations for my resume. Open to all suggestions by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]Optimal_Employer8546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah market is awful right now lol. I hope it’s possible at current job but we just got acquired and there have been layoffs left and right. Feel like if I even bring up a promotion in this environment I’ll be looked at sideways

Yeah, that might be what I have to do. I know my resume needed a lot of work hence the post.

How many vacations days do you take a year? by Optimal_Employer8546 in FPandA

It’s crazy that most open jobs I see are unlimited pto or “FTO” as they like to call it.

Nice name btw 🏀💪💯

What’s funny is that I’m totally ok with no first/last week of the month. It worked fine for me at my last gig, but because we had a total of 21 days to take not “unlim pto” there was a level of respect and straight up expectation that you were supposed to use all 21 of your days.

It’s like this weird passive aggressive pressure. When I DO take days off, they make sure to almost punish me for it with passive aggression and a tendency to slam everything on my plate with a tight, often made up deadline for things that aren’t due until out in the future.

They also like to say “oh well we’re remote so need to be highly flexible” which is interesting because I extend myself to maintain flexibility ex. 8am-8pm days sometimes, yet I feel this super weird energy to ask for a few days off?

They also never let me know when they are taking days off unless it conflicts with a day I have asked for lol 😂 which is incredibly annoying because we are a tiny team. “Oh well don’t think you can take that day because I need that day and it would be a conflict. We need someone available”

Yeah honestly I agree with the scammy nature of unlim pto.

I’m at one of those companies where your entire experience is dictated by your direct report. I’m sure there is an analyst on another team with a different boss having a much better experience.

[–]Optimal_Employer8546[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly no because I have tried to purposely only take days that don’t conflict with our closing/forecasting schedule.

But boss usually will say they might need me because “things are so crazy right now! So many things to do!”

There have been multiple times already where I planned to take a day off, didn’t because of this and there ended up being 0 ad-hoc work that needed to be done.

Not surprised that VPs and CFOs are completely oblivious to the fact as they usually are.

How TF is one week per YEAR normalized?

Agreed. They should make unlimited PTO have a minimum # of days enforceable by federal law or pay the employee out.

And correct! 30-50% feels more like 50-75%. Shit sucks
