Moving out of TP after 18 months? Realizing this is not the path for me. Would like FPA roles. How much will I hamper my long term prospects by taking a financial analyst position?

I’m in TP and feel the same way. This is my third year with the practice. Have not done my research but I wonder how transferable the skills are to other positions

What is TP?

Based on my conversations with recruiters, I may have to take a step back to go into FPA. So I suppose it doesn’t make a ton of sense to stay.

Based on my recent experience interviewing for Sr FA roles as a Senior in B4 Advisory, companies expect you to have significant experience creating complex models in Excel. Almost every company I’ve interviewed with more than a few rounds so far has given me a take home case study asking to build models I’ve never even heard of. If you don’t have significant excel modeling experience you might find that only entry level FA roles are an option

Yes, that is my feeling as well. I may just start applying for entry level positions.
