Need advice on the transition to FDD one day. Will be promoted to senior in 2 weeks (in risk advisory and have CPA). I already feel a huge disadvantage trying to go Risk > FDD (as opposed to typical Audit > FDD).

Should I stick it out in risk until deals start hiring again? I think there's some value in being a Big 4 CPA compared to an industry senior analyst. But the work in risk doesn't help me develop towards FDD at all... transfer got delayed 3 times until covid, so I'm down to switch firms

Completed my final interview last Wednesday for a management level role @ EY with the Partner in the practice area. At the conclusion they spoke of mutual interest and said they were going to reach out to the recruiter assigned to my requisition. It has been over a week and I have not received any communication. Should I reach out to the recruiter or would that come across as tipping my hand in appearing needy? Thanks!

Being courted by a recruiter for a senior product designer role. I made it very clear that remote work was non-negotiable in the initial phone screening.

They want to proceed with a video interview but it’s “recommended to join the team in office occasionally and work on-site in the beginning and go from there.”

I politely withdrew and they said the VP reconsidered because it’s been difficult to get people in the office - so I would be fully remote.

Proceed or 🚩run away?

If my goal is to get to a l/s equity hedge fund in four years, what would be a better experience? 1) two years at a long-only buyside equity fund that is not heavy on modeling + 2 yrs at a different buyside firm or 2) two years at a boutique sell side bank + 2 yrs at top tier bank?

What do you do about missing work? I have so many students that miss days or just don’t complete work in class and are given the work to make up, but it never gets turned in. I spent so many days tracking down so many students hounding them for their missing work. Do I keep hounding them or make them be responsible 8th graders and give them zeros until they learn. I only grade 1 per week IF that. There’s usually only 2 handouts a week. The rest of the days are activities or other hands on things

Got an interview this week and don’t know what to wear for it. Post-pandemic feel like a suit is overkill but don’t want to appear unprofessional. Would a button-down and slacks be too casual?

Is FDD still hiring at the senior level? Left audit a little less than a year ago because I was a bit burnt out in PA, but starting to miss it a little bit. In LA if that's relevant.

Just curious, what percentage of your billable rate do you take home? Calculation would be ((Salary and Bonus/Yearly Billable Hours)/Billable Rate). For me it's about 18% as a Senior 1 in M&A Tax (note this doesn't include other benefits).

Anyone going through IB interviews right? What questions are you asking interviewers? Feel like the typical ones are not going over well.
