Whether or not you mention it in your essay, it is 100% going to be brought up by admissions.

I would speak on it and turn it into how that experience has strengthened other areas in your life, or what you have learned. It will be challenging but I personally think it’s better if you bring it up, versus AOs bringing it up.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
