Will start in a week as an audit senior at Deloitte but just received an interview invitation from PwC for a FDD senior role…Should I go forward with the interview? I have no FDD experience at all and there will be a case study during the interview. Any tips on how to study for it and chances that I will be selected with zero experience? Thanks a lot.

Take it! If you got the interview, they like your experience. I did audit -> FDD and FDD is 10x better!

FDD typically recruits out of audit as our FDD work is similar. It's essentially audit 2.0 - we look at the P&L pretty in depth and spend a lot of time in excel asking questions.

In the interviews and case studies, they'll typically want to know 1) your experience & work history 2) if you actually know what FDD is and the actual work involved (i.e., identifying adjustments, quality of earnings items, etc.,)

Feel free to DM me for more info and specifics

Pretty straightforward case if you have any form of accounting / finance background. Can also provide pointers - much better than audit with better exits too (same as audit + many more strategic roles).

Senior Associate 1 is spot on. Recently transferred from audit to FDD in May. Happy to answer any questions you have as well.

Does anyone has any insights into it beyond the company blog post claiming they are not involved. Also how is the work culture there, are these sort things even believable for such company ?
