Does Transaction/M&A/FDD Advisory require CPA eligibility for new hires? Worried about background check (post internship) because I'm switching my major to finance.

For FDD, I’d say more likely than not considering it’s an accounting job for all intents and purposes. Most firms from my understanding don’t require you to be a CPA till manager, so even if you need eligibility, they may/may not be satisfied if you can explain to them a very clear path to you becoming one.

But frankly, if you’re going to your firm post internship, talk to your recruiter.

I believe manager at pwc fdd/FM requires all 3 but I can’t quite recall. The bonus for it is tiered by section as well

Hello PwCers, how much does PWC FDD pay now at the S3/M1 level? Ideally NYC or DC, but I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since it’s full remote? Appreciate the insights.

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".
