Public accounting as in audit/tax? Yes. It’s usually more in line with advisory/consulting, or even a little higher at certain firms.

My team has mostly recruited people from audit. But honestly I think if you have your CPA and are willing to start at the bottom you should have no issue finding a role. A lot of it is learning on the job. I would just make sure your articulate why you want to get into forensics and start applying. Getting your CFE would also highlight your interest in forensics.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
