Hey guys, I am currently a second year analyst in FDD. Have some downtime if anyone has any questions about FDD, audit to FDD transition, WLB, etc.

As an analyst, it depends on the size of the project. If it’s like full scope I can dedicate a full day to it. If it’s a smaller project I’ve been staffed on 3 at once. I think once you’re senior you’re more likely to get more than one at a time too.

Is it possible to take PTO? Any best practices?

Yeah, just book it in advance. At the analyst level they seem to be okay with it but I’ve had a senior manager miss a personal flight due to work.

What’s your bonus like? Range?

0, no bonus until you finish first year as manager at my firm

How can I best position myself to switch from audit to FDD after this busy season? Or what advice would you give someone looking to make the switch. I am a second year staff.

I have a few: what do you know about hires straight from undergrad, how does work at that level look like? How many hours on avg, what is the most valuable skillset developed, exits to IB, how easy is a lateral to the Corporate Finance/IB within a Big 4 from FDD, how does travel look like, etc.?

Dear all,

How's it like working for PwC India as SAP Functional Senior Associate?
I have a 5.3y work ex with ACN, as a FSCM consultant (L10 currently, was assured of a L9 effective March, but declined due to growing poor culture within ACN).
Got an offer from PwC India
Current TC: 9.5 LPA.
PwC Offered TC: 19 LPA.
IBM Offered Fixed: 17 LPA
IBM would be a smooth drive, but skeptical to join PwC given the WLB issues, as a lot of folks say.

Any thoughts, comments would be really helpful!

The more data points I can gather before interviewing, the better.

This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
