Currently 2nd yr audit associate in a very niche industry at top 10 firm, have opportunity to go to FDD at a regional firm (top 100). Is this a lateral career move? Don’t want to get pigeonholed but worried about smaller firm size if I leave.

Given crazy market returns recently, do you still expect the market to rise at 10% over the next 30 years?

Bad faith lawyers out there- do you have success getting extracontractuals with blown policies that were achieved via technicalities or borderline deceptive set-ups? Do juries punish a carrier when their check is lost the mail due to a hurricane and a day late or some poor defense attorney accidentally left one line off of a release?

If anyone wants to study for the CFE but doesn’t want to pay the full price for the study materials and would be interested to split it, please DM me

What are your thoughts on Dobbins? Time to cut bait or hold on to him in hopes he takes over the Raven’s run game?

A little late to the game, but is anyone here staking their API3?

Hi all! I just moved to Austin and know absolutely no one. If you’re in your mid to late twenties and are interested in adding a queer girl to your friend group, let me buy you a drink! Shameless, I know, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My interests include Michigan football, bar hopping, water sports, and real estate 🙂

how much harder is banking then valuation?

I’ve spent more time digging through TB/GL lines in FDD (over year experience) than I did in audit…. This is glorified audit

Anyone gone through the CFI’s FMVA certification program? Is it worth it for FDD?

Anyone recently had an interview at EY for experienced associate for FDD?

I think KPMG has a pretty good training and onboarding process for new FDD hires (Lakehouse bootcamp, reading and training materials for review, and the shadow program). How’s onboarding and training looking like for PwC / EY / Deloitte?

What kind of work do people in restructuring consulting do? What’s a typical day like?

So do higher ups (managers/directors/etc) in FFD talk to each other about the progress of seniors and associates in a similar manner to how the staff are ranked during audit roundtables??

Is it a viable option to make a move from big4 audit to big4 corporate finance division?

What’s your utilization right now?

Anyone in tax m&a left for industry? What role did you take and what was the pay like? JD here but interested in both JD and CPA’s experiences.

Recommendations for websites or newsletters to subscribe to, to stay informed on anything finance related or deals related? Any podcasts too. Thank you

Has anyone here considered exiting for a PE Fund of Funds?

Is FDD similar to audit where there are different industries? Like Financial service/ healthcare / NFP

Okay not going to lie — doing this rotation remote has been/is tough and I’m only a month in. I can’t keep up with the excel skills of you FDD people and pretty sure the director hates me 😭
