looks very financial analysis but who could advise you when you don’t tell anything about yourself.

#3

What’s the proposed salary?

#4

You can accept it if they are offering $40M a year

#5

sounds pretty boring tbh

Id expect 70k if in US major city

Right now my concern isn’t the pay but to gain relevant work experience to become a financial analyst. Will it count as relevant experience when I apply somewhere else after a few months?? Will I learn anything beneficial in this job which will help me bag another proper job??

I’m sorry to say this but you have a bad habit of asking the most simplistic, most general, and most hypothetical questions…we can’t guarantee anything…if you feel you can’t answer that on your own then maybe you shouldn’t take it…

on a brighter note, if you’re trying to get experience for your charter you might want to lean towards more investment front office jobs or other related jobs like risk management aka credit, market risk, etc.
