How are industry switches but within the FP&A function viewed? Are they a barrier to promotion? For example, if a SFA was looking to apply for finance manager roles in consumer packaged goods or pharma but is coming from financial services, is that going to be a big hurdle to overcome?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
