Are there a lot of people in here that have gone to a boutique M&A firm? What’s the benefit? Why stay at a PA firm? Also, why is it so awesome to work at A&M?

A&M provides large bonuses that directly correlate to your collected billed hours. Work hard, get paid.

Except you don’t set the billable hours for the project the partners do. So a project in reality might need 100 billable hours but partner says we need to do it in 70 hours. So you get fucked.

Its awesome since I get paid really well and love the people.

If I want to get into FDD eventually (internally or externally, big 4) at the 1-1.5 year mark in my career (I am currently in a rotational program between Audit and AAS) would it be better to apply for a senior associate or experienced associate position? I assume closer to 1.5-2 years would make sense for a senior role but just wanted to hear out people's opinions.
