Hi! Considering interviewing for KPMG FDD S1 118K in California (Is this lower compared to EY, PWC, Deloitte?). Currently at EY audit (About to be S1). Would appreciate insights on the KPMG FDD group, WLB, team, deal flow, etc. Should I interview or wait for an internal transfer to EYP (I know they have a bigger deal practice and more flexibility and better pay).

Audit loves to drag out internal transfers and you would most likely have to do a rotation first. I’d just start applying.

Not based there but everyone I’ve met from the LA team is great. Seems like they have a good group out there!

That sounds like a pretty good offer to me, I'm an M1 in low to medium COL and I'm at 140k. FYI PwC Deals has historically always paid higher than the other big4

EY, I just feel like the deal flow at EY is better somehow after talking to someone.

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?

It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
