What to pursue next? CMA, CA, CFA or any other licenses?Have been working in big4 for more than two years now. Passed CPA. Hesitant to take CFA as it's a 3 yr commitment and not quite related to CPA.

With PM experience, what’s the easiest way to get out of Advertising?

I struggle with perfectionism and anxiety and this job seems to not help. How can I learn to be less of a perfectionist in a job that highly rewards this kind of behavior?

Anyone from xoomworks here?

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

Anyone know why AlixPartners is the only firm that doesn’t seem to have any active job postings for M&A or restructuring, while all the other firms out there are hiring like crazy?

B4 or A&M for FDD?

Is there a way to gain some modeling skills from FDD? My plan is to exit as FP&A or Corp Dev but I heard they are looking for modeling skills. I know that working I can try to move to IB and then try that route but IB hours seem to be too brutal for me.

Does Kroll support a masters degree? Any tuition reimbursement or working with your schedule for night classes?

Anyone else here have terrible utilization because their deals die and a code never opens? /can’t find another code to book hours? I’m sitting on over 200 billable hours at this point

What’s FDD like at Bain, BCG, or McKinsey?

Saw some people from EY TAS change their titles to Strategy and Transactions on LinkedIn. Is this just a fancy name change the group did or are EY TAS folks now doing strategy work in addition to the typical FDD work ?

Audit > FDD > t15 MBA > BB IB

Thoughts?

Just checking YTD peer utilization rate and it's less than 50%. Deal market is really slowing down..

Just took a look at the Riveron. So white and so male dominated. But what do you expect. It is a TX based firm.

Just got a verbal offer for experienced analyst position at a middle market investment bank in Chicago. What should I expect/negotiate for in terms of salary and bonus?

EY FAAS, are you expected to participate in Bus dev efforts and win work as a senior? Also are you solo or have a team/ mentors to work on engagements with? had only 20mins interview, no time for questions. Lol

TEARI spot bonus - Was told by my counselor that there’s cash coming for our group bc we’re 59% above plan and 5% YoY. Paid 10/30

Bombed my FDD technical exam with houlihan. Feels bad man.

is it worth it to shift to IB or MBB after 7 years in the big four(audit and fdd)? I do think IB and MBB are interesting fields that you can acquire unique skill sets and a good network. But I don’t think I couldn’t keep up already for a daily grind. The reason why I did not pursue it earlier in my career is that I am not from a target school and I do not have an MBA. lol thoughts?

Does AAS pay the same as FDD?

Gonna join PwC M&A tax. What would be the market like if there’s another financial crisis (hopefully not). Are we the people who will be laid off first? Or we will be pulled to do tax compliance? Thanks.

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
