Hey folks! Left PwC audit as a 3rd year associate with past ratings all 3s for a senior position in AAS (Accounting Advisory Services) at KPMG. 6 months in and I'd like to boomerang back to PwC FDD.

always confuses me why people would WANT to switch to another big 4 (Kpmg OR pwc). That’s like recovering from lung cancer then going back to 3 packs a day

likefunnyuplifting

^False. They’ll hire an external hire into FDD before an internal audit person typically in a heartbeat. Why do you think so many people switch big 4 firms to do FDD? Exactly the reason why I left and switched firms

Thoughts?

If I had a magic 8 ball I’d say outlook not so good. 3s aren’t good enough to have people vouch for you and only 6 months at KPMG would make it seem like you’re regretting your decision or you haven’t been doing so hot at KPMG. Perhaps just perception rather than reality.

Depends how desperate your market is and if you left on good terms with your team (presuming you’re boomeranging back to the same office/practice). 6 months is a really short break though.

Highly doubtful. There’s a ton of people within the firm that want to go into FDD, and they’ll get priority first. I’ve seen a few 1 rated seniors and associates transfer over to FDD and they had to wait a few months before they could transfer. Lots of competition.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
