I was in FDD and had a phone interview with a boutique bank and the person was such an asshole to me during the call I realized there was no way I wanted to go that route. He was incredibly condescending. The entire website was a bunch of white dudes and also wouldn’t want to be the only woman there. Ended up getting an offer as a finance reporting manager for a public company and loving it. Left FDD as a senior so got a promotion by leaving.

Congrats on the move, sounds like a definite win. Post B4 it’s hard to go into the office everyday, but at least your total hours in office would still be less than previously. Will open my search to industry roles for sure

In my just over a year in FDD I’ve seen most leave for FP&A but also one left for boutique PE firm and I’ve gotten interest from a boutique investment bank.

Just started in FDD and would absolutely love more than life itself to move to an IB or PE, but looking at an MBA to hopefully get to a bigger than boutique shop. Many thanks for the timely response and have a great holiday weekend ahead

Did anyone have an opportunity to make a career pivot but turned down the opportunity, and regretted later? Or was the absolute right decision? I have an opportunity to switch careers.

I got an offer from a startup to try out the role but am scared I might fail at the role or the startup (series A) will not do well

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
