Try mid tiers, regionals, etc. My personal opinion is you shouldn’t spend more time in audit if you want to be in fdd. Also, at the end of the day, fdd work will be similar across firms.

I'm legitimately pretty surprised on this. Seniors are so hard to find right now, you'd think this transfer would be easy

What firm?

Switch to big 4 audit for a year then try again if you want it that badly

Are you getting referrals? Shooting applications into the void has had a really low success rate for me but with referrals things have been a lot better.

Do b4 audit and back door your way in.

Try for DDD

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!

I started a new full-time job 3 months ago. My teammates only escalate small mistakes to my boss; I rarely get positive feedback on the things I go above and beyond on. I have a review coming up this week, and I don’t feel secure. A role that I applied to pre-covid became available. I got a verbal offer last week. Should I leave a full-time gig for a temp-perm one? I’ve killed myself to implement constructive feedback but I’m scared it wouldn’t be enough.

Started in a new role. It's become incredibly apparent how little I learned in risk and the learning curve is insanely steep. Leave ASAP if it's not for you, because the things you learn are useless unless you want to stay in compliance forever.
