Planning for A&M transition: Hi all, curious to peoples different perspectives/experiences on leaving to A&M as an associate vs senior from Big 4?

Does anyone actually enjoy Federal Consulting or is it just about the work/life balance it affords and easy work? I feel like I’m slowly losing my soul on white collar welfare

I joined Amdocs in Smartops unit recently and I am not happy with the work I am getting, its production support. What to do now?

I joined in April. When will be next salary increment ??

I was today years old when I realized they were right when they said the dunya is hell for the believers.

The level of toxic individualism within society is mind boggling.

Currently being recruited for Alvarez & Marsal (Dubai or Riyadh). I’ve checked with my irl network and no one has worked with them before. Anyone here working with or for them who wouldn’t mind answering a few questions related to my proposed function; Strategy & Implementation?

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

Anybody uses Drunken Elephant products here? I just got their face wash and body cleanser I feel like it leaves some type of oily feeling on my skin. I'm a male not sure if it's anything to do with it but seems like they are not toward men. Thoughts?

FDD during an economic downturn?

Hello London 🐠

Can I get a referral for a friend for a supply chain analyst positions ?

Who was around in 2008/2009 at big 4? Specifically in advisory? How were those practices affected during the layoffs? Any insight to ease some of the worry/unknown would be greatly appreciated.

A small part of me wish I would get laid off and be forced into freelancing so I can make 💰 💰 💰

Hello,
Any advice for transitioning from public sector to private (tech) working as a privacy specialist? Appreciate any feedback!
Please love post so I am able to direct message, thanks!

What is the difference between financial due diligence (FDD) and delivering deal value (DDV) at PwC?

I think KPMG has a pretty good training and onboarding process for new FDD hires (Lakehouse bootcamp, reading and training materials for review, and the shadow program). How’s onboarding and training looking like for PwC / EY / Deloitte?

Has anyone found groups in FDD that have better hours than others? If so, what group, how did you do it, and how do you stay? I’ve heard that there are groups that do IPOs in FDD that work less, although I’ve never seen an IPO group.

How long were you a senior in FDD before things started to click? Really enjoying everything so far but feel like I am behind my peers. Been about 7 months now.

Are other firms slow right now? Majority of our FDD group is unassigned. Not complaining, just curious.

Do PE funds have in house tech DD teams? Currently on a tech dd team that’s aligned to PE transactions and trying to figure out what exit opportunities there are. Thanks for your insights!

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice with regards to my next career step. Currently in audit and I have opportunities to go for a Valuations role or an FDD role (both big 4). What are the pros and cons of each? (hours and learning opps, not concerned about salary) Not looking to work long term in both and would likely want to transition into an FP&A role in the future. Hoping to jump directly but require modelling experience.

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!

Who wants out of FDD? If so, what’s your ideal exit in 2021?

1- grad school (mba/law)
2- IB
3- other finance role (e.g. FP&A)
4- other consulting line
5- turn your hobby into a side business
6- nah, FDD forevs

Best practices to avoid burning out in FDD?

Difference between strategic finance and fp&a? What type of background can go to strategic finance?

Why do deals move at a breakneck pace all the time? I don’t understand the urgency put on this work for every single deal. Is it deliberate to avoid lengthy diligence / lots of questions? All these deadlines are arbitrary

Actively applying now to TAS/FDD senior roles and want to put myself in the best position possible to get an offer. Any advice on how to best prepare for interviews? Reviewed a few case studies and have taken financial modeling courses but am looking to see if anyone can point me to any resources outside of that.

Which city would you recommend for single men in late 20s trying to find good opportunities in career & dating? Leaning more towards to NYC but not planning to live in Manhattan due to the high rent so I am not sure that would be okay. Also don't want to drive that much.

Getting a referral from a partner not in a line of service that I'm applying for still has impact? Let's say I'm applying for a tax position but got a referral from an audit partner within the firm.

Trying to transfer audit to fdd as a senior. How long can I expect workday application to remain ‘under review’? Waiting to hear back after HR screen on next steps. Thanks !

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

Are there even any FDD type jobs in Pittsburgh? Been hard pressed trying to find.
