Does FDD vary by firm or do they pretty much compete and do the same work? Like which one has the best practice in NYC from the big4?

All generally the same. In NYC each B4 has strong relationships with a handful of the mega funds. Outside of NYC you get more variability - as a one off example - in Minneapolis only PwC and EY have a presence.

Any thoughts on those offices? Currently in the area, may be looking to jump closer to the new year

Any difference between big 4 and MM firms like Duff, A&M, HL ect other than pay?

Happy to discuss further with you - there are some different networking opportunities available depending on where you go and the relationships developed along the way.

I wouldn’t put duff / HL on the same level as A&M
