FDD. Fund accounting will pigeon hole you

likehelpfulsmart

Prob FDD - a lot easier to go from FDD to fund acct if it doesn't work out compared to the other way

likehelpfulsmart

Is it that hard to get into FDD? What are the odds? I’m currently interviewing to get a FDD job at another big4 or smaller accounting firms but unsure if I should just take this hedge fund accounting offer

FDD can lead to a lot of finance roles if you try hard enough

Not even a question FDD.
