Audit Senior, 3 YOE. I want to do FDD full time, just completed a rotation in FDD at EY. Expressed interest immediately that I want to join FDD. EY will give full time offers in January but not guaranteed. Have an offer for a small, boutique FDD firm that is very generous. Don’t want to make wrong career decision. Do I take the boutique firm offer now, hang around at EY to see if I get it, or be patient and keep applying elsewhere (other big 4 or middle market)? Want to avoid another bzy season

Tell ey you’re leaving and see what they say. Be prepared to bounce. Would switch to fdd asap even if smaller firm. Will be p easy to switch to bigger firm

Thanks KPMG 1! I’m leaning towards leaving for the smaller FDD firm just to get the experience if EY won’t give me the switch now. Right now don’t have a firm answer yes or no from EY.

Can you use the offer to ask EY at least guarantee a position?

like

That is what I am hoping for! I think I’ll talk to EY this week yet and see what they say.

Take your offer to EY, they will match

Crowe 1: they are advertising they are hiring for seniors for FDD for east region, so I’m getting mixed messaging. If there’s a current need why can’t the transfer happen now if I have at least some rotation experience.

Wait for NEWCO...

like

My understanding is FDD is going with NEWCO. Maybe 5-10% staying behind with Assureco

Any advice is appreciated! Not sure if leaving a Big 4 now will hurt me down the road. Or maybe it’ll help me and I’ll learn more at a smaller firm to begin with?

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
