Interviewed for 5.5 hours today at a boutique IB today. Base comp is a slight bump. 14 mos in FDD @ PwC who will make senior this CRT - love the role but want to see more of the transaction besides TBs and TB detail. Comp isn’t a huge bump but the IB seems to have a good culture. 20 people. I really am struggling. I worried about FDD golden handcuffs with limited exit ops. Please advise!!! How should I navigate this and assess it from an unbiased perspective. Thx!

Hi! I’m in FDD and looking to move out of California to either TX (Dallas) or Florida (open to different cities) within this year (around Aug/Sep).
Can anyone speak to the opportunities/career growth available in these cities? I’m not sure Miami is where I see myself in FL, maybe more Tampa—but I don’t think FDD is there.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Dallas too so trying to keep my options open.
Is Dallas > Florida?

Any insight would be appreciated—thanks!
