Really not a big deal. Just have sufficient information on your contributions in audit and what makes you stand out.

99% of people in FDD are familiar with what auditors do and why you’re already a good fit.

Maybe highlight being able to handle multiple projects at once and being efficient with your time.

CPA is a nice plus (you need less accounting technical training and can get up to speed quick once you learn the FDD process)

Just present yourself as type A and outgoing and you should be fine. Find a recruiter to get in the door or reach out to your network if you know anyone already at a firm.

Hey Friends! Looking for advice!

My wife is a Chartered Accountant with 7+ years of experience as credit manager, underwriting loans with some leading banks in India. She just got her EAD and is looking for jobs, open to switch profiles as well. Do you think she would fit in for any role here in Seattle, WA? She has been a star performer and promoted twice in the last 3 years. One problem is companies look for US experience which she does not have, we just moved here early this year.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
