Roast me if you want, but refer me if you can!

Hey r/CharteredAccountants

I’m currently looking for a job - specifically in Valuation, Financial / Business Modelling, FDD or Core Finance roles. Been applying everywhere but we all know how that goes without a referral.

So here’s me putting myself out there - roast me if you want, but refer me if you can!

Profile:

Chartered Accountant (First attempt - Nov 2023)

Cleared CFA Level I (First attempt - May 2025)

B. Com (IGNOU)

Experience: 14 months post qualification at EY, 3 years articleship at ASA

What I'm looking for:

• Roles in Valuation or Financial / Business Modelling
• At firms like EY SaT, Deloitte FAS, KPMG Valuations, PwC Deals, etc.
• Or IB/finance roles at Goldman Sachs, JPMC, D. E. Shaw, Avendus, Spark Capital, etc.
• Open to boutique IBs or strong modelling firms too
• Preferred locations: Bangalore, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad

Been applying online and getting ghosted online
So if you:

• Work in any of these teams
• Know of someone hiring
• Or just cracked a similar switch and have gyaan to share

Please drop a comment or DM - I’d genuinely appreciate any leads, referrals or advice

Thanks in advance!
