Strategic analytics vs FP&A? Currently evaluating two opportunities: one is in strategic finance which focuses on using analysis/modeling to make strategic growth decisions. The other is in FPA which will do a combo of forecasting and special projects. Comp wise is similar but FPA is slightly more senior title. Cant decide which one I should go for. Please help!

Strategic analytics sounds cooler. FP&A can be boring and routine. I personally like discovering new things so strategic analytics would interest me more. Also if forecasting performance is tied to comp I’d say definitely not FP&A

Where? Looking for similar roles.
