Is audit associate pay from 69k to an FP&A Analyst 85k a good jump with 2 years of experience? Or should I wait til I get promoted to senior and then jump for a senior analyst role

If fp&a is your end goal, take this offer and don't look back. There's no guarantee you'd get a senior role in the future, whereas this offer gets your foot in the door

That’s smart, and learn everything on the job

I'd take it. FP&A experience with a B4 background will be more marketable than a B4 senior, when it comes time to look for a senior analyst role.

2 years at PwC is senior at any other firm. No need to feel high and mighty, senior associate.

Take it! I made the same jump a year ago with 1.5 years of experience at PwC and have no regrets (similar pay increase too). A lot of my coworkers on the finance team made the jump after making senior at a big 4 and they started at the same position I did… I think generally to become a senior FP&A you need to get some FP&A experience first.

I joined as a FP&A II and the next step up is a FP&A III, then finally a Senior FP&A. So I still have a lot of room to grow! I’ve been at the company for a year now and expect to be promoted in the next six months or so, then my plan is to stay until Senior FP&A and evaluate from there, maybe make a jump to a new company then.
