So I went back to gym after years of not training, and this time I chose to start whey and creatine (trustified products only). And the results were good, in two months I could see the progress which had taken me 6 months previously (I didn't have proper nutrition in college). This time there was also no stress of getting a good body in less time. I was enjoying my time juggling long hours of work and gym (skipping gym when I had to work for more than 12 hours). But having supplements is kind of a taboo here, you know the famous "powder khaa ke banayi hui body".

Mom although didn't like me consuming these didn't protest much, coz I was using my money to purchase these. But my gf went ape-shit crazy, frequent attempts to get me to leave these two supplements. Even her mom joined in saying things like protein makes your body balloon up, protein directly harms the brain, protein causes heart attacks in gym goers, doctors are saying no one should consume these etc. And why don't I complete my nutrition through food only.

So, I don't like eating huge quantities of food, and non-veg is kinda taboo too because we have so many f*ing auspicious days where eating non-veg is banned or the sale of non-veg is also banned. So daily eggs and chicken are out of the window. And daily chicken or other meat products are also frowned upon as they "increase body heat" and "make people violent".

It's now a daily/weekly struggle of making people, whom I care about, understand that I'm not taking some harmful chemicals/steroids which will suddenly cause my death. I'm still trying to find those fraud doctors who are saying whey and creatine are harmful for a normal person. And I guess I'll never find the people who started the rumours that daily non-veg is bad thing not the heavy spices in it. The headache is real...

So, I recently left my FP&A job, and now I'm trying to apply everywhere. I'm a bit confused whether I should continue in finance or move towards consulting. The problem I'm facing while editing my resume is that my FP&A experience is kind of without any impact (as evaluated by AI). I don't know what to mention in percentages to show impact. All of the work I did in these years was hectic and was completed over 10+ hours during monthly closing. But how can I show impact when I had to maintain accuracy, connect with 10s of people just to get the numbers corrected in their files.

I'm unable to understand how to quantify collaborating with 6+ LOBs for reconciliation and consolidation. It feels like I did nothing all these years but somehow was working inhumane hours. Whatever I write regarding FP&A in my resume, AI judges it as generic, had one HR friend from different industry review my resume, he also said that my FP&A experience bullet points are too generic as compared to my previous work in a Bank. But in my previous work I had the freedom of making some decisions regarding operations and processes. Here in FP&A, I don't have the power to make decisions, all I do is reporting for senior management.

I need some pointers on how to make this resume fit for other finance/consulting role.

I started whey and creatine and now the whole world has turned against me...
