How realistic is it for me to pivot to tech sales after 10 years in FP&A, corporate strategy and M&A consulting for private equity clients? I sold and led projects for CFOs and CEOs, but don't enjoy finance anymore (plus the pay was low and hours were long).
Have been applying to BDR/SDR roles at FP&A SaaS and FinTech companies with no success.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I have a competitive personality and I am bored.
