Currently in B4 Tech Risk (senior 1 going to be senior 2) i want to transfer to FDD, preferably internally but looking at other big 4 too. I'm currently set to talk to a manager internally and network but is there anything else that would be recommended for me to do?

Coming from tech risk, what are my chances of getting an offer at any of the big 4s in Fdd? (Im an accting major + MAcc and working on my cpa)

To be honest, don’t think they’re high. That’s not to say it’s impossible, but I’ve personally seen people try to move from that group into FDD and be turned away. I think non-B4 FDD is perfectly doable though. You could do a year there and transfer into B4 if that’s what you really want

Appreciate the honesty! Unfortunately i can only apply to firms that sponsor for the h1b so far i havent rrqlly seen any non b4 hiring in fdd and also sponsor. But if yall have any suggestions please let me know! Im based out of NYC

Can’t hurt to apply, every firm big and small is hiring. I’d just say get a referral from someone at each firm and let em fly
