I'm in the same situation and feeling the same. Curious to see what others will say.

To SM1s point, you need to leave FDD yesterday, FDD IS NOT A PATH TO PE/VC (except for the .001% of extraordinarily lucky individuals). I was in the data practice and I’m doing strategy work now much more relevant but even i only dream of a portfolio ops role. Please talk to some people and get mentored on the direction you want to go in

Following this chain - my thought is to try and hop to the MBB/EYP side for growth strategy or transaction strategy and execution
