Honestly, you’re golden… a lot of people tend to gatekeep FDD or TAS, but it’s all about market timing. During Covid-19, all FDD practices were hiring mad crazy.

Just search the bowl. This thing comes up every week.

It is easy to transition into FDD at midsize accounting firms as an audit senior, as they often accept candidates without prior FDD experience and their recruiting process either omits case studies or involves only very simple ones.

Target middle market imo

Like PwC 1 said it’s all about timing and headcount. Most firms will prioritize internal transfers but if you apply at the right time you’d have no issue. Expect competition as audit seniors from big 4 might be preferred but you gotta at least try

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?
