EY-Parthenon FDD Folk: Is a Manager and Director the same rank there?

What do you wish you knew before moving to Australia or NZ? Seriously considering applying for an internal transfer but I'd like to know what I'm getting into first. Researching as well just asking for first hand experiences from consultants who have done it.

Producers, how do you handle malfunctioning FX, location problems-demos that won’t work as planned. Car shoot snafu’s, talent problems etc. What are your best problem solving episodes?

I'm not the best at coming up with lines on the spot. I can write good lines when I'm by myself in front of my laptop, but not when I'm talking with my CD or someone else. Is this considered an issue?

Do you know what is the worst and heart burning job in this IT world????

Being a HR earning peanuts and giving every Tom ,Dick and Harry 20 plus offer letters .....need to know actual HRs opinion on this ?

Hi. I’m an incoming masters in business analytics student at MIT and am looking for summer 2022 internships as an analyst in a tech company. I have worked as an engineering analyst for about a year. Any suggestions on how to prepare for interviews are welcome and maybe we could also do a coffee chat.Thank you

Question my fellow Fish Bowlers♥️ I had a phone screen interview. The young lady stated to watch out for the email, attached will be the link for virtual interview w/ manager on Monday @10am but NEVER received an email. Should I email the recruiting analyst and advise I never received the email invite? Thank you all in advance.

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

So, you can either be a writer or an art director, but once you hit CD you're both? All of a sudden you know both things? Help me understand because I have an CD that used to be an art director and a lot of my lines go over their head.

I am an experienced CNA/MA (17yrs) trying to break into ER tech role. Previous company wouldn’t pay for phlebotomy class, and when I took a position with a company that would train me, there was so much drama and b.s.
I was out of there so fast because of the toxic environment. Should I just forget it and do my best to finish my RN?

What is your favorite prototyping tool

Bought some litecoins on Coinbase - how long does it take for transaction to go through and owning the coins?

Who else is buying?

How difficult is it for someone to transtion from a systems analyst job to a product manager job. I have had experience owning products in the current role, but haven't officially held the title product manager.

I’m moving to a new state and know absolutely no one there. How do I go about finding a roommate?

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

How long were you a senior in FDD before things started to click? Really enjoying everything so far but feel like I am behind my peers. Been about 7 months now.

Recommendations for websites or newsletters to subscribe to, to stay informed on anything finance related or deals related? Any podcasts too. Thank you

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!

Is anyone feeling especially burnt out lately? I’ve had to work weekends for the last month. I know deals are sporadic but it feels like they have consistently ended up this way where I’m forced to work weekends. Getting frustrated because pay has also slowed down.

I’m looking for a referral please. I have 3 years of audit and 1.5 years of FDD experience all at PwC

What’s the difference between FAAS and FDD? Also which one pay better?

When applying for jobs do you think it’s best to apply straight from the website or on LinkedIn?

Are there even any FDD type jobs in Pittsburgh? Been hard pressed trying to find.

EY TARAS or EY GCR??? Between these 2 service lines which has better pay and opportunities??

I’m trying to get a rotation in FDD but my partner is worried about temporarily losing resources in our advisory practice. So, what are some things I could learn in FDD that I could bring back to the advisory practice that might convince the partner to let me go on rotation?

Are there any consulting firms with roles that require 20% travel or less?

Anyone at A&M in the digital finance group care to share their experience before applying?
