Looking for an unbiased opinion on career trajectory….

My company is reorganizing the finance team. I am being moved from my current role as FP&A mgr to a Finance PMO role.

Should this be viewed as a positive or negative development? How would you as a hiring manager view this on a resume?

I have personally heard many high level people in management talk about the importance of job rotation when it comes to moving up within Finance. So my suggestion is to focus only on the positives and embrace the change. Think of all the new experience you will have to add to your resume, in addition to being seen as flexible. Embrace the change, that in itself is a positive! By nature we humans like to resist change.

Rotation is everything. The reality is that you will have to do this at each level going up in many instances, but that will be a strength for you.

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
