Definitely better than audit

Audit isn't too bad. They're the same thing applied to different contexts and situations.
It used to be that you had to spend two years in audit to even have a chance of getting into FDD. Count your blessings.

You're surprised to find FDD is accounting?

Touché!
You'd likely hate other things as much. My advice is to stay positive and look at the bright side instead.. good luck
depends on what you’re interested in
IMO it’s worth spending time to think about if it’s reasonable to expect your job to make you happy
some people love their job, sure
some people, it’s just a job. it’s okay not to like it
i would also try to focus more on what you like vs what you read online. you know yourself best
It doesn’t get better. It really only makes sense to do FDD for the money or love of the game. Those are the trade offs you have to accept to have one of the highest paying career paths in accounting.
I actually enjoy working with my clients in FDD, assuming they're not the type of client that just treats us as a check the box
I’ve never heard anyone say that FDD was awesome 😂.
I enjoy it
FDD was the worst during COVID (brutally busy) so you did not get clear advice. That said i much prefer it to audit
Im from a coastal city so covid lasted until 2022....late 2020 through late 2021 was brutal times
Looks like FDD has reached critical mass
i will admit the job market is quite grim compared to back then
Coach
I don’t recall anyone was hyping up FDD?Just a lot of complaints about hours and pay back then

lol have done this for a decade. During the COVID frenzy this fishbowl was filled with complaints about being overworked / not paid enough.
