If you were in PWC audit and got an offer for KPMG Deals FDD, would it be considered a better job than audit? Cause PWC has the stronger name?

Big 4 are viewed the same. No one out side the big 4 knows pwc/Deloitte are the better of the 4. No cares either. Take the FDD role.

We’re all just referred to as “the accountants” by the bankers at the end of the day so big 4 is big 4. If you really care that much about “prestige” just stay at PwC - you seem to fit right in there

FDD pays more and is more interesting. You also will have same exit opps you would from audit, plus others you wouldn’t have in audit. KPMG FDD > PwC Audit all day

like

Awesome thanks

Why is it always the PwC people talking about firm “prestige” lol. The biggest difference I noticed after switching was the culture. If you are someone who is going to always talk or worry about prestige/brand name then KPMG is not for you.

Transferred from PwC audit to kpmg FDD 3 years ago and like what I’m doing way better. Only hope I wouldve transferred earlier from PwC audit

Don’t take the FDD role. Turns out you’re not as bright as we thought.

It’s easier to land a audit role in comparison to FDD. The Big 4 audit practice recruits heavily at most colleges, however, that’s not the same for FDD, AAS, or other advisory roles.

Also, the audit practice is huge at all the big 4 firms. Again, FDD is a way smaller group of people.

I’m not old BUT when I was younger I thought it was important to have all the alphabets after my name (I.e. Phr, SHRM and all the others). I learning that the younger crowd coming into the market thrives off these identifiers yet they know very little about the real world aspects of the job. I watch leadership roll their eyes at the email footers. I feel like keeping those attached to my name hurts my credibility so I removed them…. I’m I thinking wrong?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
