Is it unusual to transfer from FDD to a senior accountant role? Not sure if jumping from deal to deal is right for me..

more common to jump to senior financial analyst roles because people in FDD don't usually want to be pure operational accountants

no you're focused on areas of whatever company you work for all the time

Why would that be unusual? Probably can get any accounting job coming from FDD

People kill to be in IB, people kill to be in consulting, people kill to be in audit at B4 (lol)

Yet when people get in they look around and see everyone else trying to get out.
