What’s the difference between FAAS and FDD? Also which one pay better?

FAAS is accounting advisory work, which you will most likely either be staffed on technical accounting implementation projects or merger and carve-out/divestiture projects. For the latter, FAAS typically does the post-merger/divestiture SEC filings such as Form 10 or S-1 filings’ financial statements portion, which makes it similar in nature as a reporting role under transaction/mergers/divestiture environment. FDD, on the other hand, is pre-deal financial diligence helping the buyer/seller to sort financial things out prior to a prospective buyer finalizing a purchase deal or a seller going into the market. Hope that helps.

Very informative, Thank you!

They are both quite different and one may be better than the other depending on your interests and skills. I always thought that people who were super good auditors and good with reading guidance would be good at FAAS/CMAAS etc. I was never particularly good at guidance type stuff and wasn’t the greatest auditor but enjoy the analysis so I knew FDD was better for me. Pay more or less would be the same IMO

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

My post is for a lot of folks here who complain about managers not budging to negotiations and not offering package ,what you are expecting.I have one thing to say,there are lot of ibm employees who moved to kyndryl. Inspite of lot of contributions they are earning meagre salary.Now do you expect these people to hire you for more package most of time the package you are demanding is more than what these managers draw. So pls do not look at kyndryl as any other startup.Thanks.
