current hiring market is very picky, RSM is turning away big 4 audit seniors if they aren't impressive in the interviews. but next Feb/March it should open up (normal FDD hiring season from audit is after winter busy season). 1st year audit senior is the easiest time to transfer from audit, but in crazy hiring markets like 2021 might be able to find spots as an exp. associate

Mid tier
