This needs quite a bit of work - first impression is that there isn’t much meat or content, just filler, on why you are appropriate for the role. As a starting point - I’d drop all experience outside of KPMG. It isn’t relevant to the position they are hiring for. I’d then review the FDD job description and think specifically on how your experiences meet the job description. I’d look up a list of verbs to use on the resume and make sure you vary how you present your skills and qualifications.

Don’t most diligence practices know what seniors in public do for the most part?

I figured they’ve all been there so a decent senior associate resume listing the typical experience would be enough to get an interview where I can explain reason for leaving, what I like about FDD, and how my experience carries over.

Lacks meat. You should add some serious beef
