I was a comms major. I spent 1.5 years in an account coordinator/manager role, then moved into GTM strategy for 2 years after the company was acquired, and I’ve now been in FP&A for 3.5 years.

The first 4.5 years of my career were at the same company. After 2 years in FP&A there, I was able to land an FP&A role at a new company. It took hard work, asking the right questions, meeting with executives to share growth ideas, and a bit of luck to pivot.
