I know a white blonde woman who impressed someone with her clarinet playing skills and got into an IB job. Then spent every chance she got at the pub drinking with colleagues and worked her way up to MD in less than a decade. I think the clarinet qualifies as unhinged.

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)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. 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.
