Need some exit guidance. Went from external audit to risk advisory (aka Sox and ic) and feel pigeonholed. What’s the best way to break out? Eventually want to work towards VP but is it best to look for reporting role > controller > Vp? Or financial analyst > upwards? Or back to school entirely?

Gets me out of public accounting (better WLB) and into a space I'm interested in.
