Hi everyone — I’m (one of the many) an audit senior looking to switch into a FDD/TAS role after this busy season in NYC. I’ve been getting some pushback internally - are other big4 firms hiring now?

Everyone gets pushback. I confronted it head on and went directly to the partner causing the hesitation and got him on my side. When HR stalled, I proactively reached out to ask what I could help with. Took a while but what have you got to loose? The firm wants to keep you but gotta understand your current group doesn’t want to lose a high performer. That said, you should be able to pursue a career you like within such a large firm.

^Agree with what KPMG 1 says, as most people experience some type of pushback. Audit doesn't want to lose a top performer. However, if you aren't a strong performer, TAS won't want to hire you. Since you are a big 4 audit senior, you should be able to make this transition. NYC is, at least in the US, probably the largest TAS market. Firms are probably slowing hiring at this point; however, you should have plenty to choose from once hiring resumes after Coronavirus. In my opinion, the fundamentals of the economy haven't changed and most TAS practices have been aggressively trying to expand over the past couple of years.
