FDD will probably give you faster progression in your career. Industry FP&A is slowwwww to promote. You can punch out 5 years in FDD and leave as a manager. You are lucky to be a Senior Financial analyst II in industry in the same time period.

Plus, B4 FDD leaves open the option for A&M fdd in a year or two, where you can pull 200k with 3yoe

IMO Fdd is recession proof. If things get really bad you’ll likely just get restarted on restructuring work instead. Don’t let fear of a recession that hasn’t happened affect your career. There’s risk and reward in every decision but with a cpa you can always find a job in any economy

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday. Excited since this is a hop from a Product Analyst role and entails an offer of over $30,000 from what I'm getting now! This would be a permanent full-time compared to my current contractor role that ends in March.

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
