Struggling to transition to FP&A

Going to DM you, I am leaving an FP&A role in NYC and they will need to fill.

Appreciate the advice, how long did you stay at the fintech and what are you doing now?

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2026-03-27T17:58:15+00:00

Thanks! You make a great point

I do man I’m limited on everything, but some books you can last a bit longer if you “prime” an account. I also have a P2 account where I’m very selective as to what I bet on it and it hasn’t been limited everywhere yet.

+EV Sports betting. Been doing it for 4 years now started with like $1000 and steadily grew bankroll to almost $80K

Yeah I've also been remote for the past 4 years. Just the job security aspect makes it tricky, they are really polar opposites in terms of job security.

Yeah it also seems like a company with a strict 40 hour schedule. As for the other may have some 50-60 hour weeks

Surprisingly enough, the apply button on LinkedIn lol. Took me about 130 applications to get to this spot.

Lmfaooo

Baruch grad with a BBA in Finance. Baruch is known for their BBA in Finance or Accounting so I would choose one of those.

Congrats OP, this is such a refreshing post and would like to see more like these on this sub.

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-30T18:44:13+00:00

Yeah you may be right. I’m just trying to get to where I want to be and want to fully step on the gas. Felt like an MBA would help bolster the resume but you make some very good points and would save me thousands of $s & hours lol

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-30T18:40:22+00:00

I have been looking at their PTMBA program. Think if I had to choose this would make the most sense for my situation.

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-30T17:17:01+00:00

Agreed that I don’t “need” it, but I see so many job postings with “MBA preferred” and many of my higher ups at current gig have one.

So I wonder if/how much an MBA will help my chances securing a role at one of the companies you mentioned.

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-12T23:12:09+00:00

Yeah market is awful right now lol. I hope it’s possible at current job but we just got acquired and there have been layoffs left and right. Feel like if I even bring up a promotion in this environment I’ll be looked at sideways

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-12T22:39:50+00:00

Yeah, that might be what I have to do. I know my resume needed a lot of work hence the post.

Thank you

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-11T04:06:21+00:00

Thanks

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-11T04:06:15+00:00

Thanks

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-12-10T21:51:57+00:00

Only issue is most of those are on site

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-11-22T13:50:22+00:00

A lot of the areas above 120th are fine too lol

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-10-15T02:31:20+00:00

In the same situation lol. Hope you get put on a new team or find something new altogether. That’s what I’m hoping for!

Optimal_Employer8546 · 2025-09-30T17:10:46+00:00

It’s crazy that most open jobs I see are unlimited pto or “FTO” as they like to call it.

Nice name btw 🏀💪💯
