I work as a Financial Analyst for a Mortgage Originator and Servicer. I am trying to make a move to FP&A (preferably tech) as my interest lies there. I know that the responsibilities are different and I am willing to learn. Any advice on how to make my application more competitive while applying?
I have networked before with people in FP&A but was not able to get an offer so went for the job I am in currently.
