Hi everyone! I need some help on the career path to pick after 2 years in tax reporting and compliance at EY.
1) look into tax technology/automation/digital
2) look into federal consulting
3) look into FP&A
To give more context. I want better WLB and pay. Room for advancement and consistent pay raises. That’s it.

Transfer to FDD at your firm or other public accounting firm, and grind as long as you can before applying for FP&A in industry.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find consistent raises in industry. Often the big raises come at promotions (which are fewer and farther between than public); otherwise, it’s often just small 2-4% raises.

Some FP&A jobs are chill, but many still have busy times. I’m busy for AOP for about a month to 6 weeks, then each quarter for updates. Month-end close I’m busy for about a week. Hours range from 45-65 hours during this time, but my job is pretty chill. I’ve heard of plenty of people who work 50+ year-round. It depends if you’re corporate FP&A or BU FP&A, plus the industry and size of the company matter.

I think you should pick two of those options and focus on getting them.
