Decided to accept PwC FDD offer as senior associate. Does FDD has similar independence rule as Audit? as long as we dont work on deals related to certain corporate client we can own their stocks? (have a bunch of tesla shares and doesn’t want to sell)

Yes...when you work in public accounting even if you're a secretary or admin, you have to follow independence protocols. Even if FDD was housed in a separate legal entity, you're still considered one for independence purposes.

What location and pay were you given?

The rules kick in once you are a manager. You can’t own stocks of an audit client of the office you are employed in. So unless you work for the same office that audits Tesla, you’re good.

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
