TS is objectively better than FP&A if you’re trying to get into banking

Commenting because I’d also like to know.. need to get out of audit as soon as I am done with my PQ so I can finally do something I enjoy.

Probably would need an MBA after the FA role to get into IB

Yep agreed was planning to get MBA at some point. I guess the FA role would give me more time to study for GMAT than TS. Wonder which looks better for MBA application though?

TS would look better in my opinion, and i know people who have gone from TS right to IB. But you’re also right that FPA would give you more time to study for IB.

I know ts is better... that’s why I said it. Question was does the FA hinder/rule out my chances at IB

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
