Why do quite a lot of people want to go FPA? Isn’t corporate FPA has the same pay, growth, tenure and less opportunities than GL accounting?

Pay is honestly very similar but FP&A is considered more rewarding and value add. The work will be more difficult and likely more stress but if you like it then that's not an issue. At higher levels FP&A pays more than the accounting counterpart but it's much easier to become a director of accounting than a FP&A director (more positions).

Definitely not, fp&a are paid much higher

How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

My office recently was acquired by a new owner. He's shown interest in me being his office manager.

On all the documents I am the manager, yet I feel like they just gave me the title without the pay for it. Should I wait a bit longer and be patient, or should I speak up and ask for the raise?
