^ literally whenever. If you wanted to just do FP&A you could’ve probably made the jump from audit already so FDD is just icing on the cake.
Damn sorry to hear about that. I mean, I’m sure a minimum of a year will prob help out, especially if you get in a decent amount of deal reps.

Whenever bro
My audit experience wasn’t enough for FPA
1-1.5 years should be plenty to exit to fp&a analyst or senior analyst role
FP&A isn’t all that great either. Hours can be just as bad as FDD. Weekends are normally work free but as you move up to Director and VP expect to work as much as FDD anyway.
you should consider other companies if the hours are bothering you. Lots of my old coworkers are at manager to senior director level at big tech fp&a and do not share this experience
