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.
