Started as one and 6 years later I’m sr mgr of FP&A.

I’ve seen others jump to controller roles and other move into data analysts. Really depends on where you want to take it. It’s a great way to get experience that can be applied in different roles.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
