Hey all, I started this bowl a couple years ago as I got into travel hacking. I going to start regular “referral posts” where everyone can share their referral links to cards, etc. if you’re going to sign up anyway, might as well give someone a referral bonus, right?! I’ll start in the comments - please post: (1) the card & bank, (2) the bonus specified by your credit card to the NEW user (not to you), (3) the link. If someone has already posted your card, just post your ref link as a reply.

I am only 4 months into working at my current firm. I already know it isn’t a good long-term fit because it is tech consulting. As a recent Finance graduate who interned in Corporate Treasury at a bank, I want to work for a firm with a stronger focus on management, strategy, financial services, or m&a consulting. Looking for an entry level analyst/associate role. If you work at a firm with a strong presence in any of these areas and know about an role that can be a good fit, please let me know!

IB hours vs FDD in Big 4, which is worse?

Is it possible to exit from audit to FDD as a manager? I’m an S3 looking to switch

Hello. I was interested in transitioning into Advisory as I enjoy accounting and would like to do it from a consulting perspective.
I graduated 2015 w/ MAC
2 years Big 4 Audit
2 years Sr Revenue Accountant (Telecom/Media)
2 years Sr. Financial Analyst
1 Year Supervisor, Reporting & Analysis
Can anyone guide me on the right path to make this move? I’m shooting manager level and above.

I’ve spent more time digging through TB/GL lines in FDD (over year experience) than I did in audit…. This is glorified audit

Hi PwC FDD fishes! How often do you work weekends? How’s the work life balance in FDD. 60 hours during the week and less weekend work or? Currently a rising S1 at EY FAAS and I am considering PwC FDD; what level do I come in at if I were to apply?

How much do partners make in FDD compared to audit in HCOL ?

Has anyone went from a big 4 FDD advisory to Alvarez and Marsal ? Thinking of pursuing this as a exit opp but also have only been in my current role in FDD for less than a year. Is it to early to jump ship or should I try and stick it out?

Got offered 83k to start as an analyst for Deloitte’s controllership advisory position. Coming from one year. Of audit experience from pwc. Should I accept this pay from Deloitte? I hear A1’s in pwc advisory make 84k and A2’s make 95k. I feel used and undersold.

Should I continue working toward getting my CPA? I’m a second year staff in audit and just finished my 3 busy season (1st one from internship) and am burned out. I know I don’t want to stay in audit nor do I want my next job to be anything primarily accounting related. I want to get into transaction advisory (or somewhere in the realm off M&A), FDD, or turnaround & restructuring.

This was supposed to be the first year EY implemented a firm-wide mid-year bonus which would have been paid in January. Curious if other firms have a mid year bonus (based on their fiscal year) and if so, what have the amounts been historically? Select high performers with high utilization will still receive a little something this year similar to prior years (only ~$5k-10k tho).

What was your raise after being promoted from senior associate to manager in M&A tax?

Seeing many A&M TAG threads out here. Is it really like heaven compared to big4 FDD?
How can they pay so much more than big4? Are the Reports that much better that they can charge higher prices to customers?

Has anyone left fdd to PE ops?
( Not back office)

What's the difference between a manager and senior manager in your opinion? Other than years of experience.

Been working in Big 4 FDD for a little under two years, interviewing past 2-3 months for FDD, strategy, and IB. Received an offer from a MM FDD group for a 25% pay bump, but mainly looking to pivot out as I’ve burned out of FDD and want to move into a more finance focused role. Currently moved into second rounds at a senior strategy role for a F500 and case study stage for two boutique IB’s.

Would it be dumb to turn down the guaranteed FDD role and see how the others turn out?

Did PWC FDD folks get a spot bonus today?

Any firm still recruiting folks out of Big 4 audit into their fdd team? Happy to chat if so.

Any advice on going from Core Tax to Transaction Tax? Senior 1 currently. To clarify, not asking how to transfer .. asking how can I be successful? Tips on what helped you ..
