5 years. FDD. Greatest decision.

Are you working on M&A transactions? How are the hours compared to PA?

When I decided I was ready to leave, I started casually browsing jobs and responding to some of the messages I got from recruiters. It ended up being maybe a month or two before the right opportunity came across my desk. I put in my notice after accepting the role. Chose the nonprofit sector for more meaningful work, and ironically make more than I did in public accounting. No regrets!

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.
