I got two offers from deloitte FDD and Kpmg AAS(focus on M&A). Compensation is about the same. Which one should I accept? My end goal is moving into finance or IB/ go back school for MBA. Thanks

If you’re goal is finance or IB - go with FDD. AAS is focused on accounting methodology (even in an M&A focus) while FDD is focused on adjustments to EBITDA and deal valuation. I’ve seen many of my friends leave for IB and leverage FDD experience to do so. Speaking from my experience as an A2 in Strat at KPMG

FDD seems more relevant.

3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
