Depends on what you are looking for. FDD turnover might be high but it's because it provides much wider exit option compared to AAS Ex) Investment banking and more finance oriented exits.
PwC 1 is correct, Its what you make of it. Heck Ive seen auditors exit to IB…
I’ve been in both groups - honestly just depends on the type of work you prefer.
This is so subjective. But I think the best way is measurable by turnover. From what I’ve seen, at least in my market — AAS has a much lower turnover rate than FDD.
In the end, they’re both accounting. Its like asking if corporate tax is more enjoyable than personal.
Varies by person
Can’t speak to AAS. I switched to MM FDD from B4 audit and I’m definitely happier with the work. More problem solving, using your brain, building out schedules in excel type work which I enjoy. I’m worried AAS is too much report writing / digging into the codification, which scares me away even though I really like accounting.
I’m currently in AAS, and that’s what kills me is the writing/codification research. Though, I do enjoy creating new financial statements, etc.

To me FDD is more enjoyable spent a year in both. AAS is just too wide and most projects sucked imo

Yep and the worst part is when that thing you
Specialize in becomes obsolete (rev rec) you’re kinda disposable to the firm unless you can switch quickly to something else and learn to sell work in other areas
Just like we have different favorite foods, colors, hobbies, etc., what one person finds more enjoyable may be different than the next person. Not everyone is cut out for every job. You need to find what you’re good at and what you enjoy.
