Graduated from Bentley U with a degree in Corporate Finance and Accounting and have been at EY for 1 yr in Assurance, focusing on PE clients with $500M+ in committed capital across equity, credit, and fund of funds. Though junior, my experience testing valuations sparked an interest in M&A. I’m looking to move into EY’s SaT next year, unsure between TD or VME. I’m considering an MBA in 3 years and exploring IB, with a long-term goal of transitioning to PE. Any advice or referrals is appreciated.

Move to TD not VME.

Better exit ops from what I've seen historically. Also opens discussion to more subject while VME is relatively more niche work.

Get your cpa, they send out internal transfer emails every year for seniors+ but you need to have a cpa license to apply for the transfer

Dude, you have been with EY for a year and you don’t have your CPA. You think people from SaT will even look at your internal transfer application? If you don’t want to get a CPA, then forget about internal transfer and maybe applying for IB position directly.

I’m open to joining a bank as an analyst or a consulting firm to gain M&A exposure, if necessary. I'm focused on experience, not compensation, and I'm willing to relocate.

If anyone has any questions about my experience or is open to help/learn more, please let me know.

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
