What is the best way to get into Scrum or become a Scrum Master? After one has already received a PSM but has no prior experience. I am a dev asking for a friend, but not sure on how to give them guidance.

I would start with internal opportunities if they have them. Talk to the dev dept and see if they can work with a team as a scrum master or “intern/moonlight with a scrum master”. If that isn’t possible, they should get the CSM or PSM and apply for scrum master roles that are at a junior level or at least not senior. There are a LOT of opportunities out there

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)?

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
