I want to leave audit to go into FP&A at a private company in the future. Is 1 year as a Senior Audit Associate enough experience to get a Senior Analyst position?

Yes. An extra year in audit will not necessarily service you to be more qualified for FP&A.

Dependent on your experience. But generally I would say yes it’s enough

Completely depends on size of the company but generally quite rare to go from audit to senior analyst in FP&A. It is more likely that you have a better shot at applying to FP&A analyst roles that are looking for individuals with 1-2 years of general finance/big 4 accounting background

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
