Possible to exit FDD to strategic finance? Also, can anyone explain what a career in strategic finance entails? From my understanding, you create analysis that people make strategic decisions based on. But not really M&A (that would be more like Corp dev)

It’s FP&A usually at pre-public companies and yes you can exit from FDD to it

Definitely an easy opportunity from FDD to go to FP&A. You were given good advice since it’s easier to go from B4 to FPA than reverse. It’s great to have B4 experience on the resume too.

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
