Have interview with pwc FDD role. Currently first year in IT Audit and would you love to move over to get more exposure to the financial side of things. I might be overexcited about a role that I don’t even have yet, but would it make sense to bounce even if I would be taking a significant pay cut. I value the learning and exit opportunities more than pay right now and seem to be getting ahead of myself. Just curious of other points of view.

Those are two different jobs. Do what aligns with your mid term/long term career path more and dont worry about pay.

how much could you possibly be making as a first year in IT audit? Experienced associate jobs in b4 fdd are 75-90k depending on location

Well at EY right now, it audit is currently making 84 in my area. Just speaking with some individuals who are in the FDD practice seems the range is about 74-78 as A1’s.

Significant paycut? In the grand scheme of things, 5-10k when you’re starting your career won’t be a big deal over your lifetime. You’ll prob get a signing bonus too

You won't take a pay cut.

Deals in PwC is quite lucrative (for B4).

I know a Manager in Audit moved to Manger in FDD - asked him what his percentage raise was when he started working with us. He got a ~50% pay bump.

I know IT audit gets paid more than financial audit but not 50% more.

Thanks for the insight. I wasn’t too particular about pay honestly, just wanted people’s opinions on if the learning opportunity outweigh the pay cut in the short term scheme of things. Glad to hear that pay doesn’t seem to be an issue in the future :)

Moved over from IT audit. Far better role. Best of luck.

Why do you think you’re excited for this role? It is very different to your current team. It also sounds like you might have some expectations around exit opportunities. Do you think FDD will help you with that?

Everything you said makes sense and breadth of experience can be very important early in your career. What I will say is FDD will help you with learning how businesses work.

3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
