Agreed on banking - if you’re set on trying to make the jump to “high” finance, the best time to jump is as soon possible if not a year earlier. Generally you’ll be fighting against dumb “accountant” stereotypes, despite the fact that many people in PA could easily handle banking analyst level work.
Analytics is an interesting question - and I would potentially disagree with the above. There are a lot of different service lines in PA that are experimenting with analytics tools in interesting ways (excluding audit trying to sexy up audit by using buzzwords). For example - I work in FDD and use entry level analytics tools every week (alteryx, tableau, spotfire). If you’re able to jump to a service line / team that’s analytics focused, you could get your cpa while learning those skills and position yourself as someone with a strong financial foundation combined with analytics skill set. In my mind that sets you up better for general leadership roles in the future vs purely technical analytics.
Those are all very different. For ib the sooner the better, experience in b4 audit doesn’t help at all for ib. Same with data analytics since it’s a different field. Financial analyst it doesn’t matter when you leave. If you find a good opportunity that you like leaving is never a bad thing
financial analyst is a very vague term. If you want to be an FP&A analyst it will be beneficial to stay. If you want to work in corporate finance then no get out
