Audit manager hoping to get out of public accounting sooner rather than later (ideally before next busy season!). I'm exploring other fields and starting to upskill. For those who’ve moved into FP&A, data analytics, or technical/grant writing-how long did it take, and any regrets? I know why audit isn’t for me, but want to make sure I’m not jumping into something worse.

FP&A has been the best decision I ever made. I basically took whatever FP&A position I could in tech/bio tech and went from there. It’s all about just getting your foot in the door

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
