Currently in Audit with less than 1YOE and want to look into getting into PWC FDD. From looking at posts I have a general understand of what people in FDD do. BUT Can someone be more specific and explain what I would be doing and if there are any training material you recommend. I also would be interested in a referral if someone is willing.

You would be building data books- like a reformat and clean up of the internal fin statements to help you look for variances, analyze and make adjustments to EBITDA. You would sit in on management meetings-meetings with the owners or controller or ceo or cfo or some other important people in the transaction. You’d take notes in said meeting. Then you put together a report that goes out

Multiple. Well depends on the deal tbh. Usually there’s at least 2-3. Then the bigger the deal, the bigger the team

You will have slighter chances to get into FDD with only less than a year of audit. Associates are not commonly hired for FDD, the main bulk are S1 and up.

A1 I didn’t say he / she couldn’t try to switch I’m just saying there’s fewer associates than seniors in FDD. I just wanted this person to be at least aware of it while trying. I actually refer associates but most of them are surprised their resume don’t even get past first screening to do the interviews, although they already have 1 year of experience or 1 year and half and a CPA.

Formatting and other work in excel lol. It’s a lot of cleaning up data at the staff level, and making it useful for your managers.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.

The position ask for at least 4 years experience. I have 6.
I want to ask for a fair amount because I do think I can bring much value to the company.
Also don’t want to compromise just because I’m out of work at the moment. Do you guys have a suggestion ? TIA!!!
