Currently a senior in big 4 FDD and wanted thoughts on two potential exits:
1. IB analyst at a globabl MM Bank for the same base pay; or 2. Finance manager in industry for a 40% increase in base pay

I’m in Tax, and will finish my CPA hopefully by the end of the year (2/4 passed). I’m 31, 5 years of exp in PA, 2 at B4; and I want out. I’m looking to move into the finance world. Equity analysis looks really interesting to me, how can I break into this field? Do I go get an MBA? Do I just start writing analysis on a blog and hope someone likes what I have to say? Any suggestions would be great. Also, how are the hours?

Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well. The current industry offer meets my comp expectation but planning to see if they would bring me in as a senior manager. There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

This was supposed to be the first year EY implemented a firm-wide mid-year bonus which would have been paid in January. Curious if other firms have a mid year bonus (based on their fiscal year) and if so, what have the amounts been historically? Select high performers with high utilization will still receive a little something this year similar to prior years (only ~$5k-10k tho).

For those struggling with depression, what were some early symptoms you had? I’m having a hard time determining if I’m in a rut or am dealing with early signs of depression. I’ve lost interest in many things, feel as though I’m just here living each day the same as the last, no motivation, low libido, doomed outlook on the future, but not necessarily sad.

Have anyone done contracting negotiations before? I've interviewed for co A & B and co A extended an offer today. The offer does not meet my current salary. Co B's interview structure is 3 rounds and I've finished my 2nd round today. The recruiter mentioned that since I am a contractor my current salary is incomparable as they will provide benefits, etc. Is this true? I have 2 yrs of contracting HR exp from fortunate 500 co’s & OMW to get my SHRM-CP. Appreciate your advice in advance.

Just backed out of a signed offer and I feel like shit. The new company was very delayed in issuing an offer letter (3 weeks from verbal) and approaching a month from background check. I missed kick off events and offered to visit happy hours, but they denied that request until after the start date (which had to be pushed back).

I feel I’m justified in reneging but the group lead did everything they could to recruit and move things along, so I feel bad. Here to vent.

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

Is it possible for me to get an upgrade (on status, i mean) at the cosmopolitan vegas? Marriott platinum elite.

Halfway through the year and it’s crazy how many companies have laid off employees. Meta, Netflix and now Swvl.

Been working in Big 4 FDD for a little under two years, interviewing past 2-3 months for FDD, strategy, and IB. Received an offer from a MM FDD group for a 25% pay bump, but mainly looking to pivot out as I’ve burned out of FDD and want to move into a more finance focused role. Currently moved into second rounds at a senior strategy role for a F500 and case study stage for two boutique IB’s.

Would it be dumb to turn down the guaranteed FDD role and see how the others turn out?

What is “market” for a 2nd/3rd year manager? M&A tax. Texas.

Since I do expect a slow down to occur in the short term, and I've noticed other firms pushing people to audit and other services with need, would it be rude to preemptively reach out to restructuring partners before my firm pushes us to audit? I really don't want to work in audit like at all. I'd prefer to stay in FDD, but I'd much prefer restructuring over audit

What do exit opps look like for a role in M&A Strategy that focuses primarily on CDD and ODD? Combination of PE and strategic buyer clients, although leaning with heading down more the PE route while I’m here.

Any firm still recruiting folks out of Big 4 audit into their fdd team? Happy to chat if so.

What do you think makes more sense:
a) Stay in audit and get M1 promo this year, and then later try to transfer to FDD at manager level.
b) Move to FDD right now as S3, settle in at more relaxed pace but only hit M1 promo in 2 years.

Tax to FDD or Val. I know both are uncommon but curious to which one is slightly more doable. For people who have done it, any tips?

Anyone have opinions/experience with what type of exit opps are available from business Vals & litigation support

Are global sabbaticals possible in TAS (from US to UK)

FDD Or M&A Tax is better?

Is there a big difference between MM and B4 WLB? I liked the people at the MM firm better, but don't if B4 means that much I could see myself staying.

Do any of the Big Four have FDD groups in San Diego? Seems like most west coast practices are San Fran or LA.

Just a hypothetical. Would you tell your pml/directors+ that you want to switch careers into investment banking? And potentially get their help in networking to find opportunities?

Can you fake it till you make it in IB?
