Which one is easier? Join FDD from FAAS or Audit?

Both are possible. If you start off in audit you should just go straight in FDD. There’s no point of doing FAAS first and then FDD unless you are a campus hire into FAAS.

OP. Both are possible but changing firms is always easier than Internal transfers. If you’re interested in either FAAS or FDD at EY happy to refer.

I wouldn’t consider which one is “easier” to join, rather consider your interests. Do you like analyzing mountains of data in a short period while advising your client, if yes FDD could be for you. If you like diving into complex accounting topics and advising clients on these topics, FAAS could be a better option.

I generally think transferring to either group can be equally difficult depending on hiring needs.
