Anyone exited to FP&A and returned back to FDD? Been in current fp&a role with 2+ yoe in FDD at MM. Wondering if it’s worth going back to B4 FDD for better brand recognition and exit opportunities.

Idk what other exits you want considering you’re already in FPA, unless you wanna give like corp dev or restructuring a shot. I would probbaly only return if you actually prefer FDD over FP&A, not just assuming it’ll open doors down the line. People aren’t exiting Big 4 FDD with ease anymore.

Only go back to FDD if you want more excitements delivering client service and not stuck doing repetitive FP&A tasks.

FDD has seen a lot of negative changes in the last two years…so if you do come back, be prepared for a worse experience and probably worse exits in the near term.

Saw a job on LinkedIn applied for it and the CEO of the startup reached out to me saying he was game to move to the next stage of the process. Spoke to hiring manager and they even offered another position which matched my skills. Scheduled a full panel interview. Met with the team had a great chat, Founder even said "I guess you can start right away"..Hiring manager calls later says they'll update then boom that generic email hits my inbox. At this point you're just like arrrrrrgh😩
