Business operations analyst working in their FSO division. Really has helped me develop my modeling and FA/DA skills. It’s been a great starting point and learning a lot, not too worried about career mobility. Have a network where it will be very easy to move into an FP&A role at one of the big Seattle/Bay tech companies or can switch into wealth management.
Nice trajectory, Fudge. Just fucking work hard while you're young and have the energy. Let your flim flam peer group whine about work/life balance while you're kicking ass and taking names. Don't get comfortable. Be competitive. Be Machiavellian when the need arises. Quietly see it all as a zero/sum game. But be nice and self-effacing on the outside. It throws them off.
Most of all, don't be loyal. Make it look like you're loyal. Talk the talk. But don't be.
Oh, and for Fuck's sake, go into the office at least as often as the current requirement and don't whine about it. Maybe even go in more. When the worm turns, and it always does, it's a lot easier to lay off names on a piece of paper than it is someone you actually know from social engagement. I speak from experience, having sat in that room more times than I care to remember, trying to "get to a number."

I'm sure that will go over well
You want the Penix thanking god Christians on your team over whatever this guy is.
where you been Fudge?

Big 4 has no work life balance as you probably know creep!
Well done, Fudgie. We're proud you.
Stay golden, Pony Boy.
buddy, please tell me you're not in audit, at least let it be tax, pls.
Think Fudgie got The Outsiders' reference there?
Good call, though audit can lead to places. You just have to join an in-house finance function after a few years.
It's important to encourage Fudgie.
Lol. Fudgie's elite.
Yes. I love how creep treats me like a special needs kid, it’s a great bit and there’s probably some truth to it.

Thanks for the advice and kind words mr creep! Wouldn’t be shocked if you were in our social circle.
