It’s pretty chill honestly. SM and Partner will ask you some technical accounting questions but overall won’t be terrible. Just know what FDD is, show you are interested and willing to learn, and how you want to grow at GT. Best of luck.

I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money.
