When is the best time to make the career move from accountancy practice to banking/private equity?
Is it immediately after qualifying or after promotion to manager?
Many thanks
A consultant in WH Marks Sattin's Private Equity team replied
I would suggest immediately after qualifying, as more companies look for a newly qualified accountant who they can mould themselves, rather than an experienced manager. If you are set on a career move into banking or private equity you need to be ready to move as soon as you qualify if you want to pick up the best roles.
All the best

Dear Job Doctor,
You mentioned in an earlier blog that the best time to move across to banking as a newly qualified ACA is pretty much directly upon qualification. At which level would a newly qualified ACA slot in within investment banking? As an analyst or an associate?
Thanks for all your help.
