Hey everyone! I’m approaching my 1-year mark as an associate at a Big Four in NYC (Banking & Capital Markets). I want to transition into FDD on a deals team and am planning timing/method. I’ve passed FAR & BAR and aim to be CPA-certified by year-end. My question: is it mandatory to be a senior before moving, or can it happen earlier? Appreciate any advice!

Usually you’ll be doing an internal rotation to the FDD team and then another busy season before transferring, so yes usually you’ll be at least a senior, and it really depends on the market and the need from the group

Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?
