There’s no reason to go from AAS to FDD other than you had no idea what you wanted to do. Not easier to get into one or the other at pwc but probably easier to transfer from cmaas since you’re already in advisory, have deals experience and have an fdd network. Audit is the typical pipeline though

Agree. Just probably most people in AAS have no interest in FDD. That could be why we don't see a lot AAS moved to FDD.

Audit.

It depends on your AAS niche, I guess. Generally, audit, but I do a lot of modeling work in AAS that probably sets me up well for FDD

It’s harder to transfer from AAS to FDD primarily because theres no reason to unless you just didn’t know what you wanted to do (have to explain yourself). Their both quite different. The main question is why go Audit to AAS to FDD when if you knew you wanted FDD, why not go audit to FDD directly. It’s such an unnecessary step.

I made my move from audit to AAS as an associate :/ Want to move to FDD. I don't see why it would be harder for AAS to move to FDD than audit.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
