How long does it takes for you to feel confident on what you are doing at FDD? Essentially I am not trying to stay at FDD forever but want to make sure that I learn all the necessary skills before I go.

If you’re in FDD, pull every trick in the book to internally switch to your CDD group. Now is the time to do it when they are short staffed. That will open up countless new opps

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
