Had recast and pro forma laid out for 300+ at location level (high-level PL) and pushed through couple of complex adjustments at the location level.

It was hell. And bankers wanted it.

Sports deal. Multiple entities with drastically lower revenue due to COVID (which we had to adjust and normalize). TBs with thousands of accounts and no mapping. Lots of inter company transactions that needed to be unwound so each entity could be valued.

Recent grad in MM FDD. I talk to the sr associate i'm supposed to be shadowing a couple times a week but he hasn't had that much work for me the past 3 weeks. He has another sr associate shadowing him. I've just been sitting around playing video games and checking my email/messages every 30 minutes. Is this normal for new hires?

Currently a newly promoted audit senior. Been hearing that Deloitte typically only wants to hire people with prior FDD experience in that group. Can people within Deloitte confirm this is becoming the case? Has the window to jump straight from audit narrowed since the past few months, and is there a way to sell myself so I could at least get to the interview phase?

Hey guys. Just finished my 4th audit busy season at Deloitte (so going from Senior 2 to Senior 3). Expecting new base to be 90K effective May. Considering applying for FDD senior role at PwC. What should I be putting in as expected compensation in their form? Don't want to undersell myself but also don't want to shoot so high that the electronic form itself rejects me. Thanks all!

Deloitte
Hi everyone, I just had a first round interview for Deloitte M&A Valuation Analyst role based in Australia. I feel like I went pretty well, they were pretty keen at my Analytics background ( DA/Modelling) & my interest in finance (preparing CFA L1 atm)
However I haven’t heard back anything after two days(e.g. book my time for round 2 interview)…I know there is supposed to two more round of interviews.
Just wondering if this is the normal waiting time or I’m not the person they looking?

With 18 months of FDD as a senior 3 I’m starting to look at a jump to IB (yes I know its not a good time with the markets - just starting conversations). I can’t seem to find any true HHs or recruiting firms. For those who made the jump did you use any search firms or just start reaching out to folks at specific banks to start conversations? Any tips on starting this networking process if you don’t have many natural “ins”?

Driven solely by crazy flow. Figured I’d post here as I’ve gotten some really good networking contacts on here so figured I’d pay it forward. Feel free to shoot me a message if interested, but would be absolutely expected to hit the ground running
