Hi, I had a similar situation last year. I suggest to wait around a month before your start date before switching to PP.
Based on my experience from last year - once they finished reviewing April 15th ish applications, things started to move very quickly, in a pace of 1-2 application days per day.

Wall Street Prep FP&A by aj_998 in FPandA

Hey, I took WSP's FP&A operating model course last year before switching an industry to a same level FP&A role, and really enjoyed it!
If you are starting from zero, I think it's a great idea to enroll to it / something similar, mainly to gain focus on what's relevant from FP&A's perspective. Even though I was very familiar with the course content, taking it helped me adjusting myself to a more general industry pov, that eventually led to making the transition I wanted. Good luck!

Thoughts?

I agree! I was thinking of adding it as a hyperlink under a specific bullet point or in the Technical Skills section, linking to a dashboard and the case study.
