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.

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
