I am confused on how to gain more technical domain knowledge in FDD. I joined the firm for a different role but was forced into FDD after my project ended. Since I am in India, we majorly do a lot of data processing and formatting for the onshore team. My master's degree was in economics rather than accounting.

Although I am very comfortable with using Excel, Power Query and VBA, I am unfamiliar with the accounting/technical aspects of the work and make mistakes. How do I improve?

Read through reports and try to understand why certain adjustments were made. Ask the onshore team or other colleagues if you don’t understand the rationale. Then once you are on another project you will look out for similar adjustments and gain experience

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
