Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA

Hi,
My offer as Operations Engineer with Oracle fusion apps got struck due to hiring freeze since June 2022. I am desperately waiting on this.😅

Any idea when hiring freeze will be lifted?

I’m moving from implementation consulting - where details are super important - to a strategy role, working with C suite executives. Got the feedback that I need to think and work less detailed and way more high level/abstract. Any book recommendations to train this skill or get insights how to best think on an abstract level?

Talk me out of (or into!) buying a 2000 M Roadster. $14.5k, 111k miles. Mechanically sound with records, cosmetically nothing I can’t repair/replace.

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Would you accept a job offer where pair programming is mandated 100% of the time? I have no real experience pair programming so would like some perspective.

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?

Does FDD vary by firm or do they pretty much compete and do the same work? Like which one has the best practice in NYC from the big4?

Is it possible to transfer from audit 8 months in to FDD considering this market? I feel undervalued and want to contribute more…

EY recruiter reached out about a FDD position. Can any fish share some light on what salary range I can expect as a S2 at NYC?

How long does it take to hear back for additional FDD interviews after you had your first interview (with just one person)? Assuming they are going to line up more interviews.

Does anyone have experience/knowledge regarding whether the different B4 deal analytics teams 1) work remote 2) still travel? Looking to potentially make a switch but have heard different things across the board, including seeing that most of the job postings for senior roles in these groups are tagged to offices and don’t say remote.

Lender Due Diligence thoughts compared to FDD and potential career path?

What tax issues uncovered during tax DD can affect the FDD report?

What would be the best way to learn alteryx? It’s so expensive…

Been reading into CohnReznick. Anyone know the best way to go about landing a possible internship for next year? I currently have an FDD internship offer for a MM firm next year but I'm still exploring options. Coming off an audit internship at Big 4 this past summer. Thanks.

Anyone in FP&A hiring?

Any EY referrals for SaT M&A Consulting Intern? Don't know if referrals apply to interns but I recently denied an audit offer from EY and looking to increase my chances for M&A.

Best books for U.S. Corporate Tax similar to Logic of Subchapter K for partnerships? I’ve historically worked extensively with partnerships and starting to branch out into more “Core” corporate M&A Tax and looking for a helpful resource to get up to speed.

After being 10 years in FDD what comp should be expected for existing public accounting? And what type of roles should be applied for?

What is typically the policy for putting the deals you have worked on in your resume? I have seen conflicting notes on whether you can include or not (only the deals that are closed and public)

I understand A&M comp is primarily derived from the annual bonus based on collections/performance. However, given the significant increase in Big 4 FDD comp this year, are there any plans to raise the base salary for A&M? I have to pay rent every month not just annually 🤣

When will it end?

Any M&A tax practices out there that will allow remote/mostly remote work in the future? Where?

Does FDD get easier the more deals you do? I’m on my first actual deal (first one was a partial due diligence and barely did anything) and sometimes I’m so clueless when management is explaining a schedule or a piece of support while my manager understands quickly and needs to explain it to me (I’m a staff 1).. thank you
