Havent pulled the trigger quite yet but do pretty much have an open door in an FP&A role in a tech company, so it obviously can be done and its assumed theres some transferable skills

Thats also where i got this contact, i used to help my friend out in the FP&A role with some modeling stuff, they talked me up to the boss when asked about where she came up with some of it, etc

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
