Is it just me or does it seem like everyone in FDD is in for the long long haul? I remember in audit everyone would talk about quitting or how they're only going to do audit for a few years to get experience and then leave. I'm not really seeing the same in TS. Just my observation.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

Hi fellow 🐠, I recently moved to Vancouver from Europe, and I’m actively looking for a job. It’s been 3 months and over 200 applications with little luck :( Getting a bit desperate. I’m looking for Project Management/Business Analyst roles. I’ve have 4 years of experience in SaaS implementation and success management. If any of you know of any openings & would be able to refer me, I would be extremely grateful to talk with you. Thanks!

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

I have submitted all the documents for pwc mumbai this Monday and today is Friday. Not recieved any call from HR till now? Anyone knows how much time it will take?

While Indian consulting folks supporting the US folks do the bulk of the analysis, churning out the data and making the ppts, all the US folks do is attend meetings. Most of know basics of neither Alteryx, Power BI nor Tableau, while everyone in India is expected to know all the three. Most of the times we are expected to work till their afternoon (our Midnight)

(POV: MC in one of the Big 4)

PS: Also let me know if it's not the case in your BIG 4 company, I will gladly join it 😉

Anyone who has been through both rounds at MBB - does case difficulty get any harder between round 1 and 2? Or is it just the level of interviewer?

Valuations or FDD? Trying to decide which team has the best exit opportunities/WLB/interesting work.

Anyone in EY Divestiture Advisory Services? Trying to get a sense for what this is (besides what I can guess from the name). Is this in EY Parthenon?

How long do you think this M&A slowdown will last?

So do higher ups (managers/directors/etc) in FFD talk to each other about the progress of seniors and associates in a similar manner to how the staff are ranked during audit roundtables??

When do I begin adjusting? It’s been 4 months. I joined as an associate and I feel like sometimes my work is sloppy or I’m overwhelmed. I’ve gotten feedback that I’m making progress but that sounds fake. I’ve also gotten feedback that my work is sometimes sloppy. The last report I helped write had a ton of write ups on it. Feels like I’m about to get fired.

What to expect for NYC M&A FDD base salary at M1 level?

Anyone recently had an interview at EY for experienced associate for FDD?

What’s the difference between FAAS and FDD? Also which one pay better?

For those in big 4, how much time between accepting an offer and start date have you been able to ask for? Is a month feasible/how should one phrase it? Two weeks just doesn’t feel like enough with this heavy burnout/having to wrap up deals at old firm

What is the difference between financial due diligence (FDD) and delivering deal value (DDV) at PwC?

What firms have gone fully remote for FDD?

Has anyone moved from FDD to Strategy? I have an offer for FDD but long term goal is to break into strategy. Don’t want to have to get an MBA unless it’s firm sponsored…and FDD is easier to get in compared to Strategy

Looking for an SM+ leader in healthcare financial due diligence and analytics to join our team. DM for more information!

Who wants out of FDD? If so, what’s your ideal exit in 2021?

1- grad school (mba/law)
2- IB
3- other finance role (e.g. FP&A)
4- other consulting line
5- turn your hobby into a side business
6- nah, FDD forevs

Is it worth considering a career in Restructuring Consulting in the long term given that their work can be quite cyclical and hinges on the spectrum of the economy.
Or have I misunderstood this? Are the teams always busy with projects?

Anyone in FP&A hiring?

So I internally transferred from audit to FDD last year but my old audit team still reaches out with questions (especially because it’s busy season now). What do you y’all do in these scenarios?

Writing a report for the first time and feel way in over my head. Team didn’t discuss what adjustments we want as a group before divvying up—new transfers what has been your experience?

How many hours would you work when you have your 2 weeks in? Would you work weekends?

Has anyone here considered exiting for a PE Fund of Funds?
