As an Auditor currently working in a big 4 accounting firm, trying to move to the finance industry. Please what are the chances of getting an IB, corporate finance , asset management company? Or would I advise I move internally within the big 4 before looking outside. Please I need advise. I am currently a qualified chartered account and recently got CFA scholarships. I am just tired of auditing.

I would definitely try to move internally so you can get your foot in the door and gain some experience. That will make you more marketable in the long run.

Honestly your best bet is getting a top 20 MBA and then networking to land in IB.

A year ago, FDD > IB would have been possible, but you picked the wrong labor market to realize audit sucks

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that.

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
