Can anyone shed some light on what the main differences in experience might be between these roles, as a FT financial analyst (I'm not one.) My goal is to eventually transition into a corp. strat. role - not sure that would be possible directly after a FLDP. So, I'd like to plan this out for a back-up plan.
I would assume that shared services would offer more opportunities to network; however, from what I'v heard, it can be fairly isolated.
Any thoughts?

At least at my company,
At least at my company, basically everyone hates the shared services people. The business units all have similar agenda's, while shared services does not. And that creates strife when making the hard decisions. I personally wouldn't work at shared services if I had a choice.

Did a Shared Services rotation during my FLDP. PM me for more details.
