How do I get to VP role in FP&A or Corporate Development, is it even possible in the next 3 years? I have 4 YOE (3 years in insurance, 1 year finance - FP&A). BA in Econ, MS in Finance, and finished my MBA this year. I did manage my own company for about 6 years but I don’t include this on my resume since revenue was less than 200k annually.

Target a Director of FP&A role at a high/medium growth company with lots of open job reqs. You should be able to get promoted to VP within 3 years if you have a positive impact out of the gates

You can also aim for a startup—most “Head of…” roles are essentially Director-level roles and usually within that 7 YOE that you’re targeting

I agree. This is a good idea. OP just needs to find a stable startup.

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
