Your profile as Tax Analyst…is it a TDD role or FDD? If FDD, there’s definitely opportunities to break into MM IB pretty seamlessly from FDD. Are you building any contacts with MM IB during your contract role, and is there an opportunity to go FTE to get more experience before any potential switch?

Almost 3 years into a position as a “technical engineer” that does both project management work and design work. During my career planning discussions I’ve been asked whether I want to go down the manager side of engineering or the technical/design side. Wondering what advice you have for making this decision. My understanding is that usually the management route offers more room for promotion and a higher pay ceiling, however I became an engineer for the technical stuff. Thoughts?
