    How to Get Ahead in Finance & Accounting: The Strategy to Build Visibility with Christine Chang

    In this episode of the How To Get a Job Podcast, Daniel Botero sits down with Christine Chang, founder and career coach at Your Next Chapter Coach, former CPA, and former talent acquisition professional, to explore how finance and accounting professionals can break out of career stagnation, get promoted, and find a career path that actually aligns with their strengths. Drawing from her 18 years of experience in accounting and finance, including running her own CPA firm, as well as her experience in recruiting and talent acquisition, Christine explains why technical expertise alone is not enough to reach the highest levels of the profession. Daniel and Christine discuss the “golden handcuffs” that can keep finance and accounting professionals feeling stuck, how to identify transferable skills when pivoting into a new career, and what it really takes to become a partner at a CPA firm. They also explore why visibility, communication, leadership, networking, business development, and client relationships become increasingly important as professionals climb the corporate ladder, and how accountants can demonstrate their financial impact rather than simply listing the tasks they completed. Christine also breaks down how to approach recruiter interviews differently from hiring manager or partner interviews, why cultural fit and communication skills are becoming even more important as AI handles more technical work, and how investing in yourself can dramatically change your career trajectory. This episode is a must listen for anyone in finance or accounting who feels stuck, wants to become a partner, is looking to increase their visibility and career opportunities, or is considering a pivot into a completely new career path.

This episode is a must listen for anyone, especially women, who wants to break into Big Tech, stand out from thousands of applicants, and understand what actually happens on the other side of the hiring process.

    In this episode of the How To Get a Job Podcast, Daniel Botero sits down with Keri-Lynne Shaw, founder of The Salary Bump and former Chief Human Resource Officer, to uncover how job seekers can negotiate better compensation, increase their earning potential, and even exit a job without leaving money on the table. Drawing from her experience building compensation structures, approving offers, and negotiating exit packages from the HR side, Keri-Lynne explains why candidates often underestimate their leverage, why you should never give a salary number first, and how to position yourself toward the high end of a compensation range. Daniel and Keri-Lynne also explore the many elements beyond salary that can be negotiated, including bonuses, equity, car expenses, healthcare, education, coaching, and other benefits, as well as how to use market research, competing opportunities, and strategic silence during compensation conversations. They also discuss how employees can proactively negotiate transition or severance packages when they know a job is no longer the right fit, including the story of one executive who secured a $2.3 million exit package. This episode is a must listen for anyone who wants to stop leaving money on the table, understand the other side of the negotiation table, and take a more strategic approach to both getting paid more and leaving a job on better terms.
