Hello I am a senior manager in tax in a specialized group (10 years going on 11 in PA) and want to make a transition to FP&A -willing to start up at ground level. Just wondering whether anyone has heard of anyone at Sr Mgr level in tax making a transition like that -would I even be considered when applying for FP&A opportunities.

Enlight us. Why FP&A ?

Over tax and want a change ! FP&A seems interesting.

Sounds unlikely if I'm being completely honest. You'd have a better chance going into an industry tax senior manager role and then hoping for an internal transfer.

Why FPA? I personally wouldn't do it

Is there some sort of tax planning/modeling role that could be a good transition step?

Not sure what that would be. I was looking into transferring into IFS-finance roles - they do some FP&A but it’s so hard to transfer

Very unlikely. Best shot is internal transter in the industry job.

I think you may need CFA to pivot into FP&A. Start networking, talk to FP&A folks.

Resume gap: My position will be abruptly end in December (was informed this week). However, I won't be interview ready in the next 2 weeks. So how bad does a gap of 1-2 months appear to tech recruiters?

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
