Need some advice. I’ve been a senior audit associate for about 4 years now with my CPA. I’m looking to leave soon and get into FP&A somewhere. Does anyone have advice on what level I can expect to be qualified for when applying and the timeline of moving up in the Company? Also, any advice on what to expect for these type of interviews? TIA!

Why not manager after 4 years as Senior with CPA? Would think you’d be shooting for a manager role in public or in industry

But the question is how after 4 years as a senior are you not a manager yet?
