Is it easier to switch from FAAS to FDD vs Audit to FDD?

Yes. Anything is easier than audit

There’s legitimate shots at both. At least at PwC, the groups are fairly close and familiar to each other in my experience, so building a network to help would be easier in FAAS/CMAAS. However, most transfers in happen from audit. I would assume that’s because if you knew about FAAS, you already also knew about FDD and thought FAAS was more appealing at the time, whereas audit people are more likely to be considering FDD for the first time.

If you’re trying to switch from FAAS/CMAAS, it may be easier to switch firms as CMAAS is still crazy busy and probably less willing to give up current resources.

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
