What are the pros and cons of an FP&A job? Is it a bad move to go from an A3 to just an FP&A analyst role?

Pros - usually decent pay bump, better hours than B4, more interesting work

Cons - can get repetitive, takes more finesse to go from senior to manager

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
