I just crossed a year in fdd and i was using search function for exit opps and it seems like the opportunities are not very plenty. Is there anyone who had a successful exit from fdd with either a better pay or wlb or both. I dont wanna get pigeonholed into fdd and wondering whats the best time to exit where i wouldnt be too deep in fdd trenches

Yes. Left for much more $$ and WLB with fast trajectory. IMO best exits happen at M+ if you stick it out & work at B4

I’m a M in FDD, where’d you end up d?
