FP&A and Investment Banking/PE/HF - transferable skills

Hi guys,

Wanted to try and ask this in this forum.


I have a friend that's interviewing for an FP&A role entry level. Wants to try to make a difficult move to IB, PE, HF in the future and understand's it's not the best road.
Can anyone provide some insight about transferable skills from FP&A and Investment Banking. What are some things one would learn in FP&A that are useful in Banking, PE, HF?
Much appreciated.
