Finished final round of FDD/TAS interviews at a regional firm. Confident I'm getting an offer. Current S1 + CPA in B4 risk assurance and this jump would be about 10% raise but loss of senior title. Worth it? My attempt to switch to another B4 hasn't worked. Rotation/transfer *might* happen in April but I'm not counting on it.

I want to jump straight into FP&A and completely avoid the stop at FDD (unpredictable/crazy hours) but no luck. Are regional FDD exit ops much worse than B4?

My original plan was to recruit for FP&A until April and take a good job. If I didn't get any good offers, I'd hope for the transfer in April. The problem is that if the transfer doesn't go through...not sure what's next.

This offer kinda fell in my lap without me originally planning on going for it. I'm on the B4 koolaid and am worried for my exit ops. Should I just stay and hope for the transfer? B4 FDD is better than regional FDD right? But that comparison means nothing if the transfer doesn't happen.

I’d do it

Absolutely worth it

I went from senior back to associate in a TAS/Valution department, completely worth it. Especially if that peaks your interest more

I saw the question before but it has died so I’ll ask again, what is your job title & base salary. Years of experience and bonus structure would be nice to but not necessary.

I’ll go first, I have 5 YOE, currently am a technical consultant, 110k with a up to 5k bonus per quarter based on MBOs.
