At crossroads and need help deciding between two opportunities. First job is a new Senior FP&A role at a growing company with plans to go public and clear upward mobility. Second is a boutique M&A/banking firm, primarily would be doing FDD, but will have opportunity to be involved in banking side and full deal process (modeling, post-integration, etc). Comp is the same besides potential higher bonus at the M&A firm. Goal in 5 years is to be Director/VP Finance. All perspectives welcome!

Senior FP&A… not even a question

like

Take the FP&A if wlb is important. M&A will never lead to a good wlb

like

Even still, your exit ops in fp&a will be better wlb than M&a in the long run

I would do FP&A based on what you've said. FDD work is not great, and I have no idea how truthful they are being when they say you'll get exposure to other parts of a deal.

Also WLB and room for progression seem solid in the FP&A role.

like

Should also mention that I have no interest moving to banking or private equity in the long term because of WLB. Leaving as a senior in audit.
