Senior 1 in Audit. Since big 4 deals is not hiring is it better to go mid size FDD or do another year of audit and try for big 4 FDD? Thoughts?

In my opinion, mid size. Historically, all the big 4 would prefer to hire someone with deal experience compared with someone who just has audit experience.

OP, did you know you were gonna do well in audit or was gonna like it prior to joining?

Like K1 said, make the leap. It’s not that serious. All signs point to a better experience overall in FDD, if you can get in.

Audit is always hiring at the senior level, they will always take you back if you leave and it doesn’t work out. I would try to go to another big4 or mid tier firm FDD.

Given that you're concerned about job hopping too much and you're not sure if you'll like FDD, I would actually recommend asking your firm for an FDD rotation ASAP (into potential transfer after busy season). Normally I NEVER recommend internal transfers as there's too many negatives compared to transferring externally, but given your situation, it might be your best bet.

Given all the recent buzz about expected large raises around the big 4, I’d like to level set on the average salary for a 4th/5th year female senior manager in federal tax ( credits & methods group) in the Midwest - Chicago/Minneapolis/Detroit market.

Current expectations set at 140-160k. Reasonable?
