Can only speak for pwc but you will not get financial modeling experience in Fdd. You’ll get data modeling skills which could lead down a different career path but dcf modeling is non existent apart from occasionally reviewing the targets models.
You’re not getting into anything but no name Corp dev from FDD unless you’re a very experienced person. (It’s just the truth too many good ex bankers want those jobs). FP&A is possible from audit you can easily get in from FDD
EY3 I don’t wanna say that’s silly but if you actually got a solid Corp Dev role from a tech giant and didn’t take it and don’t want to make partner you messed up
Coach
I don’t think FP&A has modeling skills has a dealbreaker. Plenty of FDD people go there without modeling experience
Do you get modeling skills from valuation?
You could learn on the side from outside resources or models the bankers provide in the dataroom.
Go to Val
I just read modeling and I know val is pretty modeling heavy as well. I just switched over here and I can see that’s true. Hours can get crazy at times but nothing near IB and the work is kinda similar from what I hear. I know a lot of seniors/managers that jumped to corp dev, PE, and corp finance.
