I’m an A2 in audit at a midtier (BDO/RSM/GT). Eventually want to make the move to Big 4. Should I be applying now or wait until senior promo? Some background if it matters: I didn’t get promo’d to senior for August 2022 - I joined the firm in Fall 2021 as an A2 (I have one year and a half working in industry). Thus I have only completed one busy season so far. I’ve been staffed on a mix of pubco and large private engagements, some where I acted more as staff and others more as the in-charge

Hi all,

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.

Recently, I interviewed with another Big 4 firm for SC in CDD M&A team and have got an offer. I enjoyed doing the CDD case study, and I believe I'd do well in the role.

Does it make sense to start afresh in M&A at this stage?
