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?

You must have your CPA to be promoted to manager at Big4

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

Is anyone willing to consider hiring a content strategist/copywriter/CX expert? I'm desperate to leave a job that ended up being a bait and switch.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

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?
