Yes there’s studying but I also understand his point that there’s a difference between studying and on the job learning or doing things on a consistent basis. I recently took a modeling test that I studied a week for and there were things I’ve never seen before, really only if you were on the job.

Obviously it’s up to everyone to figure it out themselves, but doesn’t mean there’s still a stew learning curve

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. 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?
