I’m curious about this as well, I’m hoping to make a pivot from FP&A soon.

Not me, but I'm sure there are a variety of experiences out there. I've found that there is a lot of variety to the roles in tech, whether or not you are necessarily an engineer. So your options to move around are broad, in my opinion.

I too would like to know... 👣
