Any industry that has operating companies. So not FS

Getting FDD offers from FS audit these days is not the hard part. In my experience FS new hires tend to struggle more because they are not as familiar with the accounting / operations of non-FS companies. Not an impossible transition but you are definitely disadvantaged at the start.

FDD has traditionally recruited those from comercial audits. Although I have seen people coming from technology, Healthcare and other audit areas. In my experience 60% of the people in fdd with audit backgrounds have experience with manufacturing /inventory
