Have you ever thought of finance jobs at tech companies? Specifically senior financial analyst or finance manager roles. I start as an SFA (having never worked in FP&A) at AWS in a couple weeks, and finance at tech companies seem to lean much more into the data analyst side of things.

I haven't specifically looked at that yet, but I live in the Seattle area so that would definitely be worth pursuing.

Only thing I'd add is that from looking at the LinkedIn profiles of other big tech finance folks, it seems the big tech companies typically down-level people if it's their first role in tech. Like senior finance managers from a finance firm coming in as a finance manager, or a finance manager coming in as an SFA.

When is a contract position worth considering? I've been approached by a couple of recruiters for 6-8 month contract roles that very sound interesting, but at the same time the idea of leaving my role (where I'm well regarded and have a decent amount of job security) for something with a definite end-date feels a bit daunting.

In tech I get these contract offers fairly often and there’s practically no scenario in which I’d leave my salaried position for a single digit multiplier of my hourly wage. The only scenario I would even consider it is if said contract was enough money in the contract to be equal to 2 or more years at my current salary during the duration of the contract and paid for something desirable like top secret government clearance. Beyond that not worth leaving my steady tech job. Maybe if things got really bad at my job and I was looking for an immediate exit strategy.

I feel like contract work like that is good when you're trying to establish yourself in an industry but cause burn out and can be limiting if you're trying to secure a more leadership oriented path. So kind of a thing for people young in their career, imo.

There are people who like doing contract work because it doesn't tie them to a specific company, but honestly if you don't immediately come up with that on your own you're probably not one of them.
