Jump to F100 company? - SBs for good answers

How did they approach you?

Linkedin. I have my account set to "seeking job opportunities" and FP&A recruiters usually get a hold of me once a month or more.

There might be a slight edge, but then you'll have an offsetting question mark about (1) why you are 2 years out, with only 1 year of experience, and (2) why you have a job on your resume where you only stayed for a year.

this was my EXACT thought process. the questions arising from the oddly timed job change will far outweigh the brand name difference

No, please don't. Small firms have a culture that fosters teamwork. From my experience in a F500 finance environment: they pigeonhole you and you only have one year experience. Stay put for one more year, at least.

agreed. in fact, after i put in another year, i will be looking into startups as well as other companies IF i decide to move on.

In my mind this boils down to 1 question:

Where are you likely to be promoted faster?

it's really tough to tell, but it's a good point nonetheless. FP&A tends to have a culture of "putting in your time", so in that case staying put is probably a smarter idea.

short reply, but due to the lack of other responses, +1 for you.
