Is it possible to transition from audit to corporate development directly? Would like to hear any tips or if anyone has personally done the switch.

But still not saying that either.

You wouldn’t have the necessary skills unless you were transitioning over VERY early on in your career/ for an entry level role

Are u familiar with the deal process already?

Best shot is probably a bank shot into fp&a at a very acquisitive company, express interest and get exposure to the deals, and then try to transfer.

Fdd would give you a better shot than audit, strategy better than fdd (assuming transaction exposure), and banking is the easiest of all to lateral from

Lol no
