Currently at Big 4 FDD. I’ve got an offer for another B4 for operational / strategy work. Although they have some CDD work (not often), appears that they usually do Standalone work which is a plug or support for QoE / FDD. Thoughts? Is it still good move? Is there a good exit on doing operational work?

Better exit ops than FDD - think PE deal partner or operator roles, corporate strategy consulting, or Corp dev roles.

Great way to expand the skillset for a couple of years regardless of where you end up long term

ill give you an alternative opinion - depends on the B4 imo. Going from PwC/EY FDD to KPMG Strategy would not be as impressive. In this rare case, it depends what B4 you are leaving from and going to.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
