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.

During the pandemic I lost my job and was desperate. I found a 5 month tax law internship to full hire and applied.
Description: “$20/hr to JDs, $15/hr to JD students”.
This was our convo.
Me: …I graduated from law school a few months ago…
Interviewer: so I’ll be paying you $15/hr if you’re hired… I’ll let you know in a week
Me (in no position to negotiate): umm… okay
*3 months later*
Interviewer: You’re hired! However it will now be an unpaid internship, are you still interested?
Me: *ghosts*
