What are the minimum requirements to get into TAS, M&A, FDD, CMAAS, FAAS, Big 4 or MM? Seems like every group is usually Audit Senior at Big 4 (even if you were just promoted, seen like 2 months exp as Senior, and switched). Is CPA 100% required?

I’m honored you added M&A to this list, was sad it was left off your previous post.

B4 Senior with CPA makes the MM interview/application process very simple. B4 FDD not hiring entry level right now

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
