Any A1s who got an offer in B4 FDD? Seems like they only take senior or A2 level.

I joined FDD as an Associate from campus, but that’s not the norm. I think as an A1, it might be tough to make the case to transfer from audit - experience, convincing audit to give you up, and the lack of performance review history all likely play a role.

Worth asking the question and pursuing it if you’re interested, we are hiring like crazy!

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
