Hello fellow 🐠! I have 5 YOE, a Master’s degree, and I am currently working as a financial analyst. My question is whether or not a 65% pay increase that would come with a new role within same company would be detrimental to my career in the long term. The title is “Business Process Analyst” and it seems to be a great way to gain exposure and learn an incredible amount about the company. Is the growth potential there? Would I be giving up a career in finance that I could never return to?
