Please reach out to me, I would look forward to connecting and learning more about potential opportunities. Thanks!EY PwC Deloitte KPMG

It’s a numbers game my friend. I was in your boat not too long ago. Made the jump from SFA to Manager at another company. But I sent out a ton of resumes and I perfected my interview speach. You really need to lie. Tell them you manager other analysts etc even if you don’t. Tell them at your company SFA is basically synonymous with Manager at other companies even if it isn’t true. And just get your story right. At the end of the day it’s a numbers game. You’re right though. If someone already has managerial experience and more YOE than you then that’s tough to beat. But just gotta hang in there. Corporate world is weird. I’ve met people who were SFA position for life but I think that’s also because they were content with that.
I personally think Corporate FP&A (basically just consolidation) is less work than accounting which is why it’s better. However, at this point I just want a title change. I don’t want to be stuck as a senior with total 8-10 YOE and still not be able to move up. Consolidation Accounting doesn’t seem too messy but I’m just wondering if it would ever be possible to get back on the Finance path again. Ultimately I don’t want to do accounting long term.
I think you answered your own question with where you want to take your career in the future. You'll get manager position before 8-10 YOE but I wouldn't get so discouraged with 5 that you go down the wrong career path. I was in the same position looking for manager roles as a SFA, decided to switch to finance consulting senior associate because of the value that puts on your resume going forward.
