I mean FAAS can still be controller route.

EY3 is right. I came from PwC CMAAS and was ok with lower bonus and pay because EY was friendlier. That’s no longer the case. The newer partners can be particularly vicious

There are so many variables that there is no way to answer that. The initial jump to FAAS isn’t that big, especially in this market. I don’t know if we are transferring now either.

The highest paying route out of audit is actually going from Audit -> Strategy & Transactions - FDD/TD/VME -> Investment Banking. Senior 3s in FDD make more than 150k after bonus.

Again, you need an MBA from a target school no matter what.

FAAS doesn’t pay that well compared to other accounting advisory practices. I’ve seen PwC recently put up CMAAS job openings, I’d apply there if $$ is more important.

I’m not sure what you mean by the “controller route”. Does that just mean jumping to industry and moving up the ranks from there? I think public accounting is probably paying more than industry is at this point.

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
