Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

I recently realized that I don’t care to have a prestigious consulting job, I care to have a job to feed myself and allow me to dedicate time to other entrepreneurial ventures/investments. I think it’d be a job that will keep stress to a minimum (or very rarely), pay a healthy amount (e.g. 80 - 90 for 2 YOE in a MCOL), and consistently work a firm 40 hours or less, has relatively easy work, and fully remote. can only think of an internal auditor/contractor role.

Any suggestions?
