Hey everyone, I have two offers.

Big 4 audit
GT Accounting Advisory Services

Both are nearly similar compensation. Which do you think is better for long term growth and potential exit opportunities? I know I’d like to eventually work in FDD.

Thanks in advance!

GT AAS. Better job than audit. Relatively easy to switch to FDD from AAS.

If you want to work in FDD specifically, B4 audit. Easy choice

In terms of general career potential, accounting advisory 10/10

smart

Why not AAS to FDD?

What type of advisory services?

IPO readiness and m&a accounting

AAS

B4 audit, I know audit gets a lot of hate online and yes it sucks but it’s great to have on your resume

go to B4 audit then switch to B4 AAS. no large company on a mega ipo is going to choose GT. your experiences and exit ops will be way better

OP wants to go to FDD eventually. With the current market environment, getting transferred/hired into FDD without deal experience is very slim. OP should go to MM AAS where they will at least get some type of deal experience and then transfer into big 4 FDD after 1-2 years.

AAS - having deals exposure gives you a leg up on anyone with just audit experience. Most FDD shops aren’t taking anyone with just audit experience, even B4 audit. You may not be able to go B4 FDD but you should be able to get a spot somewhere out of GT AAS. Source: I’m in FDD at pwc.
