I'm 4 years into my career, currently I work at one of the largest public advisory firms writing research and taking advisory calls with CIOs/CFOs on strategy around IT Cost Optimization, IT/technology finance, benchmarking, budgeting etc. I enjoy the role but fear not being able to do much with this experience. I fear this due to the fact that I simply talk strategy and roadmaps with no technical experience of having ever done these activities myself.

Just received an offer for Sr. FP&A analyst which includes budgeting, forecasting and corp dev/M&A work. This is at a public fortune1000 company which has no corp dev department so everything M&A related falls into the FP&A group.

Corp Dev. and traditional finance is slightly more appealing to me career wise but curious if my current advisory role really has much in terms of exit opps if I stay any longer? New role comes with a ~15k salary increase but trying to think more long term. Thoughts?
