Start preparing ASAP, yes!

Even if the answer is no, you should believe in yourself and believe that you'll get the interview call and be prepared for that eventuality.

Manifest your success man.

Start prepping! I didn’t start until I got an interview Bc I wasn’t expecting it and regret it - I wish I had more time to prep and could’ve given myself an extra 2 weeks

Yes, although highly dependent on who the referral is from and how strong their recommendation is.

lmaooo it was from a fellow analyst a few weeks ago...not someone high up. thought it went into the black hole but a recruiter reached out with a link to apply. I guess I'll start preparing lol

If I want to get into FDD eventually (internally or externally, big 4) at the 1-1.5 year mark in my career (I am currently in a rotational program between Audit and AAS) would it be better to apply for a senior associate or experienced associate position? I assume closer to 1.5-2 years would make sense for a senior role but just wanted to hear out people's opinions.

Thoughts on the below role?

Got messaged about an analyst job doing the preliminary discovery stuff including dashboards. But not for the business, but to give recommendations to data scientists about where to focus.

Also worried about career prospects. I've been wanting to turn business facing, but becoming the only DA on a DS team seems like it'd be a dead end with promos?
