If I’m a senior in FDD at mid tier (not BDO) does it matter if you want to switch to Big 4 if you don’t have your CPA? And do you have to have the CPA as a manager at big 4?

top 10 firms + some regional firms I’ve talked to require CPA or CFA for manager in FDD. Might not be the case for PE owned firms tho

Not GT

I think they would need to hear you’re working on it with it being required for promo

CPA or equivalent from other countries or CFA is required at pwc
