Anyone have experience working CWX side of Facebook (Meta) ? These are the full time contract roles that potentially turn into permanent roles directly with Facebook (Meta). Had a recruiter reach out and offering me comparable TC and such, just curious if anyone has experience in these roles and success/failure of transitioning into permanent role. Thanks in advance!

Started in audit at 50k. In b4 FDD now 10 years later - bonus this year exceeded first year base and my total comp will be over 300k. Good money to be made sticking it out in big4, and starting to get interesting opportunities to jump to growth stage companies in finance leadership roles where the work would be very interesting and the equity upside massive.
Congrats! That’s awesome! When/how did you make the jump from audit to FDD?
Made the jump as a senior 1. We’re hiring aggressively now, good time to jump if you want to
Would also love to know what firm
24 years total experience. Started PwC. Moved to KPMG. Audit Partner. $900k.
I don’t know how you do it! 24 busy seasons… you’re a machine haha
At what stage was the move to KPMG?
Accounting to strategy - 10yrs exp no mba - $270 TC
How do you get into that group! I’m a SM in tax and have an MBA. Curious what your job is like if you don’t mind talking a little about that too! Thanks in advance!
Started at IRS making $27K with just a bachelors degree. Was making $60K 8 years later when I left to join PwC for $100K plus $5K signing bonus. Now making $425K plus bonus as an MD.
Ladies and gentlemen, the first entry into the two/three sentence TL;DR Hall of Fame.
So you’re saying there is a chance?
Started in audit at PwC for 2.5 years, moved to strategy at Deloitte. 135,000 and 15k signing bonus. 150 TC in first year
P4 - answer is it depends. We are hiring heavily right now and a lot of the ‘soft’ consulting skills are very transferable since we are very client facing at both PwC and Deloitte.
I hold all of the core AWS certs (3 associates and 2 professionals) as well as two privacy certs. I did a lot of enablement in addition to client work and pushed that experience hard during my final interviews so that my comp conversation was as close to the top of the pay scale as possible.
I wanted to move over as a SC but took a consultant role - probably played a factor in them offering more money as well.
Pro
Went from ~60 to ~100, after 4 years working. Nothing crazy, but didn’t realize I’d end up actually getting to six figs in my 20s.
audit >> accounting advisory >> industry. Total comp ~$300k.
Ohh the number of the beast lol
That’s great though, congrats on the recent move! I hear SEC reporting can have similar hours to big four. In you recent experience, does that seem accurate?
