Is PwC FDD really 2 years to get to experienced associate? Recruiter is basically stonewalling my attempt to come in as an experienced hire with ~1 YOE and my CPA (wants me to come in as an associate aka a campus hire) . I get that when you jump firms, you might have to take a title downgrade, but it's confusing to me when I see people on here and elsewhere say they like got an offer as a senior associate in FDD with ~2 YOE in audit and I can't even come in as an A2.

That should 100% not be happening.

It’s another matter if they simply don’t have a position for experience associate available I guess but doing a year in audit doesn’t mean you suddenly have to restart if you jump to fdd.

Believe me I tried to get an earlier start date, but they mentioned that there were like bootcamps/trainings that had to be done at the same time with everyone else.

No, only takes 2 years to make senior. Experienced associate is 12 months or more

Apply KPMG or EY then.

Are you going in with 1 year or FDD or audit experience?

Advisory aka risk so I kind of get it but I really didn't expect this much pushback on coming in as an A2 (if I'm going to start in Aug) OR starting as an A1 right now

I would stay at Deloitte unless you are fully prepared to delay your senior promo by 1-2 years.
