I had 1 YOE in big 4 tax and now 1st year (not top tier) MBA program. I got an interview invite for FDD MBA intern at Houlihan Lokey and think it would be my chance to dust the tax tag and glitter off me. Any recommendations I prepare for the technicals (CPA who has no audit, deal related experience before)

FDD is safe but a stepping stone, your MBA is probs the same stepping stone you need so I’d try directly for FP&A, corp dev, or something along that line if you’re really trying to shake things up.

Just got promoted to audit senior, but can’t imagine doing another busy season. I have some forensics internship experience from college and always wanted to pivot to forensics. It sounds like the firm is working mostly on COVID stuff these days, but I’m more interested in doing investigations work. If I transfer and have no choice but to work on insurance/claims, would it be better to stay in auditing? Is the insurance/claims work demanding/difficult intellectually wise?
