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!
