Currently an A1 at a MM FDD firm. Wanting to jump ship to an A1 role at a Big 4 FDD practice. How many months of being a MM FDD associate would you recommend working before making that jump? Also are there any Big 4 FDD practices requiring employees to come into the office and what are your guys hours like on average?

From what I can tell, A1s are being hired directly out of school and they aren’t hiring A2s at all. IMO I would just stay at the MM until you are about to become a senior and then jump as a senior cuz they’ll be wanting people with experience

I started up few months ago. There weren’t any Big 4 FDD A1 roles available in my area when I was job hunting. Didn’t know if its possible to transfer as an A1 to another A1 role. Was thinking to jump ship after 6-7 months for the same title. I at least would have gone through training, shadow program, and a few deals in comparison to some kid from college. That was my thought process at least

B4s are not hiring. We already have plenty of A1 and A2s who are unassigned. Get a senior title and move.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
