Working in FDD at the Big 4, seen a fair amount of colleagues leave for IB. My biggest hesitation is spending too long in FDD and just honing QofE and NWC skills. Whereas IB would build a more diverse skill set, making me a more marketable professional. Wondering if people familiar with the matter can share their experiences or opinions.
