What type of exit opportunities are available to folks doing finance strategy/transformation work? Would it make sense to apply for Director of BU strategy/strategy & operations?

Following because I’m in the same shoes. I’m 1 year into finance transformation and feel like it’s a weird intersection of strategy and tech projects.

Have been told and read that corporate strategy is a feasible exit. Would like to do IB or PE but doesn’t sound like that’ll be an easy path.

Definitely not impossible, best of luck!

I have mainly had opportunities with corporate strat. roles and FP&A type of teams.

I guess another way to look at my question is: does type of consulting exp. matter all that much for exit opportunities or is the emphasis more on core consulting skills when it comes to early exits (2yrs post mba)

Hi! The role I interviewed for has been deprioritised. Has anyone else experienced this? This was announced 2days before the hiring freeze.. should I assume the job will be cancelled? Or in your opinion, are roles likely to be open again? This is a non tech role as a Research & Insights lead for Google Apps.

Recruiter hasn’t been very responsive.
