      Good experience

      Consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Currently FDM allows remote work, which I have greatly appreciated during my time with the company. I’ve gained great experience while working here since I’ve been placed with a large financial client. FDM offers an 8 week training program to prepare you for whatever role you’re seeking. I was in the Business Analysis training, so we learned SQL, Excel, Power BI, and Project management (waterfall and agile/scrum). They even had training on professional etiquette which is great for recent grads. I had an overall good experience while with the company.

      Cons

      Have to sign a 2-year contract for employment, meaning you’re not allowed to quit or else you will incur fees. So Make sure you’re prepared to give them 2 years at the salary they offer! You’re only eligible for salary pay once placed with a client, which starts at about 45k, which increases to 47k, and finally 50k after a certain amount of time. Before being placed with a client, you will make an hourly pay of $15/hr (New York minimum wage- which is where FDM is based out of). If you’re working remotely from another state, understand you will be paying New York taxes as well. Yes the pay is low but this industry won’t look at candidates who have no experience (regardless if you have a degree or not), so I bit the bullet to get 2 years of experience while getting paid instead of paying for these expensive boot camps that are out there.
