Damn dawg, EY really working you like a dog. I've been in fdd for a few months now and only been on max 2 deals and even then it wasn't too crazy.

In MM, yes and sometimes even more if they are at different phases. I’d rather have 4 deals that are at different phases than 2 deals where you are delivering a draft in the same week.

For the most part EY staffs everyone below heavy SDs on one deal at a time. Staffing is wonky though in this market and hard to say if your situation is normal or not. Lot of sell sides kicking around that aren’t moving quickly which means a lot of people are tied to multiple at a time that might have a day or two of work a week but not running fast.

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
