Has anyone noticed any changes in accounting firms that have accepted private equity money?

There have been a few jobs at
Baker Tilly that I've been thinking of applying for, but is this recommended with a merger on top of that?

Also, if there is someone working there, then I'd be interested in if they'd recommend the firm overall. Overall, I'm currently interested in applying, but I also don't want to walk onto an active landmine if I can help it.

From working with PE, my assumption would be you’d have greater margin pressure coupled with headcount reduction. If you want a new role, id recommend applying now since it may be more competitive and/or roles may disappear as the business questions whether roles are necessary once you’re past this initial phase.

It’s gonna be an active landmine for sure … they’re giving everyone 7.5% retention bonuses to not leave

You can try to apply, you’d probabaly get an offer since they need people to come in. I just joined and so far, they announced Day 1 of merger this week.

I think it is an active landmine right now for the Moss folks as we are having to learn the BT way. For BT folks, I am sure it is business as usual.

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions.

Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?
