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?

Or MBA, but easier and cheaper to go CPA

CPA not a requirement at KPMG. We have partners and MDs without a CPA

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

I have a period of time (~2 years) where I worked multiple part time jobs. One job was with a FAANG so that’s easy to put on my resume. But the others included a couple non profits (mainly digital marketing), then multiple contracts with clients doing things like business development, APIs, websites, etc. How can I combine these “side gigs” under a single title/experience? Business Consultant? Say I ran a consulting agency? Business Dev Engineer? I’m lost. I don’t want to embellish or undermine.

Not sure if there’s a need for it since it’s not a complicated shoot (single cam, direct shot to talent answering questions) but wanted to get a sense. Client wants a meeting the day before the shoot to talk about the production (which we have done a few times already), so not sure if it makes sense to have a formal PPB for this meeting. Thoughts?

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?
