Took a 10% pay cut but a much better work life balance (9-5 in FP&A) and I would never go back to FDD

Is your FP&A Manager pay on par with what you received as an FDD Manager?

i went to FP&A that eventually grew to finance generalist. i liked it a lot.

i went back to the firm because i find it more fun to help companies set up their processes than run them over and over again

so im not in FDD anymore, im in like an outsourced accounting role

TIA!
