Easily the finance role
Would you mind elaborating, McKinsey? I'm familiar with how public accounting promotions are structured but unsure of how it would look at Amazon. I see that a lot of B4 exit opportunities include these sort of finance positions and want to make sure I'm developing my career at a pace similar to if not faster than B4, if I do go with Amazon. Hope that makes sense, thanks.
Most roles in industry don’t have the single progression path that there is in professional services (x years between promotions, clear next promotion, etc.). So you won’t be able to make your 15 year plan to partner and know how much you’ll be paid each step of the way.
But a role like ops finance is much more flexible and has much more upside than B4 audit. Sitting between the business and finance means you can go into the business or FP&A (the type of role many public accountants try to exit to), depending on interest. You’ll also have a more impactful resume for job hopping or business school. And you’ll likely find the role itself to be more interesting.
The ops finance role is a 2-year program with at least 4 different rotations, and so I'm not entirely sure myself of what my function would be. Thanks a lot for your insight, that's a lot of valuable information for me to consider.
Oh that’s even better. Broadens your learning/experience even more and sets you up well for promotional roles afterward.
Thanks for your help, McKinsey. This may be a silly question, but I turned down an offer to work at a large aerospace company, intending to go for B4 Audit. If the question was between finance at an aerospace company vs B4 Audit, what would your answer have been?

Likely finance (dependent on specifics). But don’t dwell on the past
