Recommendations for experience to get to CFO level?

5 years FP&A in tech and banking + FLDP @ a bank, considering if continuing up FP&A is too narrow of a focus for eventual CFO gigs… Should I consider an MBA and pivot to a different area of finance? Currently 28, Senior analyst, in the promotion cycle for Finance Manager position next.

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon. What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.
