What are the Big 4? Discussions

Curious if anyone knows what kind of positions /fields a CPA fluent in SQL, Python, and hobbyist experience in ML could pivot into? I love working with data. Is data science for a bank or the financial space a possible jump? Currently a data analyst at an FP&A tech startup. Are there options I haven’t considered? Would love to jump on a call. Happy to exchange my experience/ views on big 4 and startups.

Are Big 4 consulting partners in US compensated better than partners in Asia and Middle East? If yes, what is roughly the total comp gap?

People are asking "is hiring freeze?".
Just Big 4's has announced their YEA rating and many IT companies given appraisal and some are yet to give.
So this high attrion will continue until we hear any bad news about Recession

Hey all! If I have 1 YOE in AAS at B4 is it possible to transfer into FDD? Didn’t know what FDD was when applying to jobs out of college but I think I’d really like it. Would it be best to try and transfer internally? New firm? Or do I need more experience before I can make a move?

Looking to move from Big 4 strategy to MBB. If I have 1 YoE, should I be looking at analyst or associate roles at McKinsey (or equivalent at BB)?

Quick Question - I am aware that lot of firms in US are hiring for remote Audit roles & even paying heft sign on/ referral bonuses. I would like to know if any Big 4 offices or top 25 firm in US are currently considering the candidates outside US for remote opportunity.

Background - I am an experienced Audit Senior with one of the Big4 working on US TMT sector engagements in an Offshore setup from India. Please let me know if any such openings available.

Hi everyone, looking for advice on a career in FP&A.
Currently got offered from FDD, Audit in big 4, and Corporate Banking.
Which can be the best first career for transition into FP&A in the future?

Just got an offer at Big 4 for 95k in LCOL. This is obviously the most I’ve ever made, and I don’t come money, so this is a big change for me. Would someone give me advice on how to manage it/how to budget?

What is the work life balance within the Alvarez and Marsal Restructuring and Turnaround Group? How does it compare to the different groups in the Big 4?

DC/Arlington folks is there a lot of job openings in that area for big 4 consulting?

Big 4 Consulting interviews: do most people fail out of interviews at the behavioral interview part or the case interview part? Does anyone know statistics of job offers given once you make the casing portion of a Big 4 interview?

Potential career change: Do I take a consulting job at a research firm to break into consulting? I have 5YOE in tech finance with MBA. The pay is exactly the same. Growth potential is limited at the company but I may be able to pivot to B4 or T2 or MBB after just a year or two. If I decline and stay, I am 1 year away from promotion to finance manager. Thanks

Hey guys! I was wondering if I could receive some input from you all as it would be extremely helpful. Are there any Big 4 companies that hire Transaction Advisory Associates directly out of college; without any prior audit experience or CPA designation?

Is it better to play the long game and be a partner in big 4 or CFO/CAO/Controller/CEO in industry?

Tenured B4 partners: recognizing the independence constraints we have, what money / wealth advice would you give new partners? What has worked for you?

Has anyone been black balled because of an ugly experience with a small boutique L&E firm? Looking to go to one of the big 4 but concerned that my boss will not speak well of me when I give notice and if he knows someone wherever I end up applying… mid-sized Rocky Mountain market.

I have been with all the b4 firms and I can definitively say that PwC has the worst and the most toxic culture/leadership.

Is it easier to make partner in MM (top10) or big 4?

Does anyone have a list of companies that would consider entry level (1 yoe w/bachelors) candidates for a restructuring consultant position? The 1 yoe is from a big 4 implementation consulting/quantitative finance role. Very hard to find much on restructuring consulting that is entry level

Is it really true that smaller size firms have better wlb? Tax specific. If true why people still stay with big 4, like what are the pros and cons of working in smaller vs. bigger firms? Thinking of jumping ship but don’t want to have hallucination that going to a smaller firm will guarantee a better wlb lol

Currently a top-performing A1 in B4 audit, with an offer to work in mid-sized M&A advisory. If I wish to pursue a career in finance, should I stay and try to get B4 M&A advisory or just make the switch now?

Big 4 Project Manager salaries? (LA or SC levels)

Is it the same pay for all A1 at B4 same office same service line?

Im considering leaving B4 audit for a senior fund accounting role (at a reputable MM PE shop in the US, not an admin). I hate audit (2yrs experience) but am getting apprehensive about leaving due to people referring to fund accounting as a dead end! I understand the hours can be bad in fund accounting versus other industry jobs, but it would be a significant raise and I’m interested in the industry. Anyone work in a similar role and can provide advice? Some positivity would be nice.

MM FDD (excluding AM) vs Big 4 Audit, which has better chance of getting into big 4 FDD eventually?

For the recent interns in big 4 and mbb within last 1-2 years, what was the return offer you got whether it be accounting or consulting or any internship that you did?

I have seen lot of people criticising Big 4. But on the other seen some of the people struggling to be in Big 4. I personally feel somewhere it gives you a edge to growth.

Experts opinion?

I have 2 years of experience as an Oracle Cloud Financial Consultant at a small/medium firm. I'm looking to move out of implementation consulting, or maybe move into a different side of implementation consulting. I'm interested in Product Management but not sure if that is likely. I also have Big 4 recruiters reaching out about implementation consulting there - don't really want to continue doing it but might have to in order to get in somewhere else.

Any suggestions?
