Poor. M2 in FDD looking at FP&A and strategic finance roles and having trouble landing any interviews that aren’t entry level or at least a $50K step down in comp. Had one role I interviewed for, and two days before the interview they decided to downgrade the position from M to SA. I went from looking at a $20K comp haircut to $80K. Needless to say, I declined to continue the process.

Coming from the advisory side, very difficult in the current market to break into industry without some prior direct experience. Your best bet is networking, even if you have B4 on your resume. That, or waiting until 2025 annual budgets are finalized and hoping things improve.
