Big4 to RX Banking

Hello monkeys,

I wonder if anyone has made the transition from accounting to restructuring banking. And no sugarcoating, which groups, if any, translate well into RX banking? Luckily I did go to a target school, but I read that accounting is still too backwards looking for something niche like Rx banking. Hoping anyone could provide some insights into this!

Thanks for the input and yeah I can understand that. FDD is transactions focused and more of an “applied accounting” role. A follow up, I get the skills you learn in the role but it seems more applicable to M&A. Can you still tie FDD to Rx?

You are talking to a chatgpt wrapper, might as well ask AI on your own. Going from big4 to rx co instead of banking is a much more viable path that actually happens
