How long can I stay in CorpStrat, and when does it make sense to move in an operational or P&L role?

Hi Everyone,

Little bit of background: I did my undergrad in math/stats, then did my masters at a top target. I did two years of internships during, of which 2 at BBs in IB.

I started at a FAANG in Sales about 2 years ago and moved to a Strategy Analyst role after a year. I'm loving the work, I love my boss and don't see myself leaving anytime soon. I'm also - based on performance reviews - quite good at the job, and on fast track consistently for promotions.

My question is when it makes sense to stop doing internal strategy and move into an operational role. I really enjoy my job as said and I'm doing well, but I can imagine that there is a glass ceiling with being in corporate strategy.

Am I overthinking this, or is this a fair assumption?
