Couldn’t find an FP&A bowl, so figured this might be a place close enough to ask:

I have two years audit experience, 1 year finance optimization consulting (mostly PMO and process improvement), 1 year AAS (mostly did process improvement work) - all at Big4.

I think I want to pivot into more of a finance or FP&A role but got concerns over finding a job due to lack of experience and having to take a paycut for a more junior position. Any advice?

Ya I’m in a similar boat as you. Anything you won’t take a pay cut for will require at least 5-7 YOE unless you network your way into a better scenario

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
