product control opportunity
I am now working in Big 4 London as a audit associate. I have been already ACCA exam qualified, but still work for ACA qualification as requested. Now, I have a chance to break into a Top BB (like GS, MS, JP) finance department as a product controller associate (delta one trading). It is a experience hire. I only have one working experience in Big 4 but exam qualified (a rare case). Moreover, The interviewer told me that the company can sponsor me to do for CFA qualification for a better understanding of the product.
I have two options now, still stick into the audit and wait 2 more years to try to transfer to transaction service team to do the due diligence in London for 2 years. Then try to apply FO or other relevant jobs in Asia. Or I move to product control position to do 1-2 years to leverage my CV based on the brand name and associate position. The salary should be far more than my current big 4 salary. But how about the exit opportunity. Definitely no plan for a long period of this role. Maybe pursue a top MBA in 2-3 years and then pursue FO in Asia or other finance relevant roles.
Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks a lot!
If you wanna do M&A or PE, never go into product control. It is better to stay where you are and then move into TAS or CF.
Thanks. I just want to accelerate the career. In big 4, there must be 5 years. So, maybe a MO in BB could help me break into a top MBA? I have no idea about this.
MO in BB can help you break into a top MBA, but if you want to use it to go directly into M&A or PE then your chances are very slim.
Thx mate. I do not think I have any chance to break into FO now based on my current portfolio. Maybe top MBA in Europe such as LBS is a good choice?
LBS is a good choice.
Cool. But I am not sure whether Big 4 (one year) and product control in top BB (2-3 years) are competitive for a position in LBS MBA.
