Need career advice. Have been trying to get into FDD. Tried the internal transfer route last summer and got an interview but was told there was a hiring freeze. I also got an offer from RSM that was then rescinded due to the market. I held on another busy season in hopes things would change in the market but seems that it is not looking hopeful. Is it worth staying until something opens up? I don’t want to leave for something I’m not passionate about. My goal is to get into corp dev.

Are you aware of places hiring at the moment? I understand Senior level is the best time to transition but I just haven’t seen much out there

We’re currently in a hiring freeze at KPMG, and it honestly looks like we’re more likely to cut more people than start hiring again. MM firms are hiring, but unless you have several years of FDD experience it’s gonna be very hard getting a big 4 FDD job before 2024

Just stay in audit until the market recovers

To add additional context the partner on my engagement had mentioned early promotion to manager this winter (3 1/2 years) so there is incentive to stay. Are there other jobs aside from FDD that I could look into that could help me reach my goal?
