Which industry has highest pay for Fp&a professionals? Private equity (but you would be considered back office)? or tech?

FPA is, rightfully so in most people’s eyes, a back office role. Your “clients” are your business partners (i.e. the managers of business units/p&l’s/etc), and you have virtually no end-user facing activities. The position exists to help the business(s) make decisions, plan, manage their financials/people/resources, and provide insights and analysis into their performance.

Businesses that understand this value will pay higher salaries. In my experience, people-heavy businesses with high margin products fit this description. Contrary to VP1, my experience is that tech > finance. The BO salary ranges at my current tech employer are notably higher than salaries offered for the same level positions at banks and funds.

Tech is the lowest.

Most is probably PE, and fp&a is naturally a MO function no matter where you're working, lol.

MO meaning what exactly?

“Middle Office” presumably

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

WLB is next to zero as 60hr weeks are the minimum as of late. Management feels like they are trying to push a few of us out. Was told not to expect much come year end for comp. Any suggestions on finding a new role/pay expectations?
