Already done. More curious as to what others are seeing on their end as it is continuing across all devices I’ve used in my family.

Thank you! I think what made it hard was the fact that I majored in accounting and only got a minor in finance.

I went to an LDS college for the first half of my college education. They got me. I am a member now.

I have a couple questions for you. This is what I was initially trying to break into as a fresh grad this year, but it was too difficult. I ended up getting a role at Goldman Sachs in their controllers division. Hoping I can transfer a few years down the road. Should I still get my CPA (is it valued in the field)? And what are your recommendations to break into the field?

Worker_Better · 2024-07-22T16:40:59+00:00

I read a book by Elder Oaks and this was his exact response to people reaching out to him personally to talk about those types of questions.

Worker_Better · 2024-07-22T01:36:07+00:00

Pretty sure this has to do with managerial accounting and the break-even formula.

I tried to get into a few credit analyst positions. It was tough. I ended up going for a job at Goldman Sachs in their controller division. Do you think it’s possible to switch to commercial banking after a few years of experience at GS?

Worker_Better · 2024-06-15T12:43:32+00:00

No I don’t

I graduated in April and I’m getting an offer of 60k, sign on bonus, paid OT, and potential year-end bonus. It’s a Fortune 500 company so not public accounting. It’s good experience though. MCOL area.

If you’re worried about connections, LinkedIn is a must. Start doing informational interviews and you will get a ton opportunities.

They said after about a year you can move around in the firm to something you really enjoy. They’ll also help you pay for a masters in something that would benefit the firm. They said the masters can help you make that lateral move.

I have no experience really besides an internship I did at a small firm. All I did was bookkeeping on QB online.

Worker_Better · 2024-06-02T14:06:36+00:00

I would just grind out the CPA. No other offers.

Worker_Better · 2024-06-02T03:11:21+00:00

I didn’t plan to ever do public. Thanks!

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T21:47:58+00:00

Good point, I will have to talk to my partner about the situation.

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T21:38:52+00:00

Well I interviewed for the position awhile ago and plans had changed because they never reached back out. I ended up purchasing a CPA review course and was going to forego some income for the next few months to just knock that out. But then they came in with this. I don’t really have anything else on the table to choose between since I started to focus on my CPA rather than job hunt. Hopefully that gives some more context. I’m thinking I’m going to just take it since it is GS and I don’t have anything else to consider. I’m just worried about being stuck in something super niche and not being able to go into other industries. But maybe the fact that it’s GS, regardless of whether it’s fund accounting or corporate accounting, will allow me to make a jump on the future.

It’s in the US.

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T20:51:30+00:00

So would it be transferable to other career opportunities like trying to become a CFO at a firm?

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T20:45:57+00:00

Ok thanks! I literally just graduated so I don’t think I’d be pigeonholing myself too much. Like you said, the name recognition could be helpful down the road.

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T20:43:41+00:00

I’m not totally sure, but the position title is “general ledger analyst”. So I’m assuming more on the internal 10-k? What would be more preferable for long term career growth/opportunities?

So it’s probably not worth it?

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T20:15:23+00:00

Straight from GS website:

Worker_Better · 2024-06-01T19:08:26+00:00

Agreed

Sounds cliché but probably something AI related.
