Corp Finance Career Path - Breadth vs. Depth

So from what it sounds like, you're more or less happy with the company you're with, but feel you've reached the peak of your learning curve if you stay within FP&A? It's just hard to get a sense of the direction of your career unless you provide more insight into where you want to go, what you want to do. Seems you've rotated across a number of different departments and have good exposure to the various functions within finance, but you're considering a move into the more operational side of the business (ie supply chain management?).

To respond to the first question...take a look at where top management within the firm is coming from. Depending on the place, a lot of times you'll see people promoted within (typically programs with very strong FLDPs), and others, you'll see a higher percentage of those as external hires. If you're looking to move up the ladder within the CF function itself, and your company is one that is more likely to promote internally, stay.

As you mentioned, with the whole depth v breadth view, I'd stay away from moving "outside of your comfort zone" unless you feel REALLY compelled to do so...the further away you move in time and scope from your finance function, the less attractive you will be to other employers within your previous skillset, if sometime down the line decide to move back into CF.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by building your skill set as an individual contributor -- are you specifically referring more to being a supply chain operations manager, ie moving to a different location outside of the HQ and managing the supply chain of a smaller branch of your company? Basically, I'm trying to say it's difficult to gauge your level of interest in what you're doing now vs interest in cost acctng/supply chain, and what exactly you're trying to accomplish by making the move.
