Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice with regards to my next career step. Currently in audit and I have opportunities to go for a Valuations role or an FDD role (both big 4). What are the pros and cons of each? (hours and learning opps, not concerned about salary) Not looking to work long term in both and would likely want to transition into an FP&A role in the future. Hoping to jump directly but require modelling experience.

What kind of modelling do people do in FP&A? I’ve never really thought of it as modelling intensive

Usually fast growing companies have more modelling involved to my knowledge. More scenarios to model financials such as what if we introduce revenue stream x, y, z
