Is AAS a good area to gain transferable skills and learn a lot? Comparing to audit.

Yes

I look at it this way for the three main service lines for accounting

Controller or internal auditor? Audit

VP of technical accounting or SEC reporting professional? AAS

FP&A or strategic finance? FDD

Base generalizations and the younger you are in your career the more easily it is to transfer between these exits. But at the Manager+ level this is mostly what you will see without taking a title demotion.

Got it thanks! So you wouldn’t say AAS could also go controller or internal auditor?

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.

Let’s talk speed reading. I’m a slow reader and listened to a podcast recently on speed reading. I’m intrigued. Who here speed reads? How did you learn those skills, and what types of documents do you speed read in practice? I do mostly litigation and am thinking that speed reading would help with research but maybe not things like doc review where you need to review for both responsiveness and privilege.
