Has anyone transitioned from FP&A or corporate finance to Consulting?

Was it worth it? What was the change in: Comp? WLB? Fulfillment of work? Culture? Thanks!

I did, so far it’s been worth it. Was able to almost double my comp in 2 years, and got out of the cycle of budget/EOM activities.

uplifting

I had 2 years fp&a experience and now 2.5 years consulting

I didn’t make the transition you’re asking about, but dm me if you’re looking for a big 4 referral to a group that does work adjacent to your current role
