A&M people, is it possible to get hired into the FDD practice out of an FDD role at an MM firm like RSM/BDO/GT? I’m wondering if I would need to switch to big 4 first to even have a shot.

MM lives matter…

Ha, I don’t hate the player, or the game…yet

I would argue being a high performer at a GT/BDO/RSM is more desirable than an average performer at B4. You’re getting quality experience of running multiple deals at once even as a senior associate, and while overall the deal size is smaller we still do deals in the billion dollar range. And A&M focuses on middle market deals anyways right? IMO as long you’re a high performer in MM and can market that you probably have a decent shot

No worries, I forgive ya 😮 not trying to say MM > B4 at all though

You’d have to be at big 4

For TAG you have to have B4 experience. Doesn’t mean you have to come directly from a B4 firm but they want you to have at least some B4 experience in your background.

Yes the answer is always that theres a chance, but you do have to realize most have a b4 background and that will give you the greatest chance.
