You’re tuned in to Career Convos with Nikki: real, unfiltered conversations about what it takes to build a career you actually want in corporate America. If you’re an accountant, analyst, finance manager, controller, or just trying to figure out what’s next in your career… you’re in the right place.
In this episode of CareerConvos™️, I’m sharing the story of my real job while I was working on my undergraduate accounting degree — the job I had instead of doing accounting internships. I talk about why I skipped public accounting and how that experience gave me valuable, transferable skills that shaped my career in unexpected ways.
From negotiation and empathy to real-world communication, these lessons helped me build my leadership style and succeed on my own terms. If you’ve ever felt like your career path doesn’t fit the traditional mold or worried you’re missing out, this episode is for you.
I want to encourage you to own your story and design a career that feels right for you. If you want to build your career on your own terms, this conversation is for you.
