If you're interested in a deeper look into what FP&A is all about and what a non-linear journey through the profession looks like, enjoy this discussion with Drew Murphy at FP&HEY. Here are some of the key points: Careers are journeys: Mine went from bagging donuts, to starting a guitar tutoring business, to majoring in health sciences, to stumbling into management consulting. It's okay to take steps back to move forward: Life isn't a series of wins or losses — they're a bundle of successes or learning opportunities that help you grow. Focus on the evergreen skills early: Start your career learning skills that apply to a number of disciplines — like communication, professionalism, and managing people/processes. Over time learn what comes naturally to you and what others value — double down on those things. Humans are resilient: Have a “figure it out” mentality when starting your own business or starting a new job. https://lnkd.in/eeJUVbvt
