Bump same for me in FDD

60% here, but as a manager. Enough work to scrape by and enough to hit the gym everyday.
FDD will always have cycles. We just finished a huge overworked cycle. Can’t start firing and shit picks back up again with no staff.
You’re probably going to be fired unless you request to transfer to audit before it’s too late
The fact is you need to push yourself to get on jobs and be known as someone to keep
I'm about 30% been at the firm for almost 6 months now. Tbh, idc because I am a burnt out auditor and I can appreciate this lull in TAS
< 6 months
Just make an effort to network with MDs for projects
I'm in M&A tax and I'm not too worried about low utilization. However, I agree things have slowed down significantly. Specifically, given that firms regret laying off m&a folks during the 2020 slowdown, I'm not too worried. My hypothesis is that there will be a significant uptick in deal work once the dust settles (i.e., valuations settle, interest rate settles, and PE needs to invest their investor's cash).

KPMG 😂 I just joined several months ago. Not sure if it is because now it’s holiday season?
Has anyone in FDD been asked to do a rotation in another LOS?
