I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business. I often feel like I would enjoy client facing or advisory work because it would help me build a skill that could translate to me potentially running my own advisory firm one day… I feel my role just looks at numbers on a page which doesn’t help me develop translatable subject matter skills or expertise. I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?

What do you mean by Consolidations? Like Accounting Consolidations? If so, why did you switch internally? In my opinion seems like your old role was better working towards your long term career goal

should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
