If you don’t understand journal entries then you won’t make it to mgr at any reputable firm. if basic JEs are not clicking after a couple years then you should probably move on sooner rather than later.

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
