What are the Big 4?

Would you leave the big 4 as a SM for 100% raise (all in) even if you knew you’d make PPMD within the next 3-6 years?

When you parallel to another big 4, what % increase in base comp should you expect?

Interviewing for Big 4 Mgr level, 8 yrs total exp. for B2C Commerce....what comp is fair?

Why do big 4 recruiters just ghost you after interviews? They usually respond pretty quickly leading up to the interviews but once its over, no responding to any following up emails. Are they waiting to interview other candidates, waiting for the team/HR response or what?

Is there a difference in the general range for annual bonus %s across the Big 4? Or are all 4 consistent?

What’s your company 401k match policy? I feel like Big 4’s matching policy is way worse than other companies

Anyone interested or successfully exited to sales or bizdev in MedTech/HIT? What kind of jobs should I look for with MBA, Big 4 and hospital finance/rev cycle background? Should I apply to entry level inside sales to train and earn sales record, or am I qualified enough for outside sales Rep, Account Mgr or Exec? Fine with taking a paycut to try a new challenge and for the potential compensation down the road!

Hi 🐠- I have 2 interviews (1 first round, 1 final round) to be scheduled with MBB and got postponed due to COVID. Months later I found PM work really interesting and now thinking about devoting time to learn PM and switch. Currently at B4 and MBB used to be my dream. If you were me, will you continue to practice cases to get into MBB or switch gear for PM? Will MBB name get me a better PM job in tech ($, name etc)I don’t have any technical/coding background, but ultimately want to work in tech.

if your salary is on the higher end of a band at a big 4 - are expectations actually higher for you specifically? or is that not really considered unless you’re at a smaller niche firm

Hi - I received an offer from big 4 to work in their Technology Preferred Program which if I am not wrong is part of their Project Delivery Model. The pay raise is satisfying but unfortunately its not under core consulting umbrella. Is their a way I can negotiate on getting into core consulting rather than this project model. Any assistance would be really appreciated. Thanks

What is the salary range for Managers at big 4? Non - MBA.

Does anybody who changed jobs or started a new job during the pandemic when everybody is WFH feel a lack of interest or engagement in your work? I’m trying to figure out if it’s a me problem or a circumstance problem. I left B4 to get out for a job I thought would make me happy, but now I feel an absence of passion or care for my work, and most days I procrastinate and don’t even want to do anything. It’s not like me, I wanted to know if I share this feeling with anyone similar out there.

I have an offer from another B4 based out of the D.C. area but my family is relocating back to NY and I would like to be close to them. How do I best approach the situation? I want to be on the project in D.C. and ask to travel back and forth once offices are open and safe to come back.

I left big 4 in nov for a fund accounting role and I just got offered another job that seems like a great opportunity. However, I do still want to apply for an mba at the end of the year. Is this leaving a job after 3 months going to hurt my application?

Anyone willing to share how big 4 consulting experience pre-MBA helped them leverage a larger comp package post-MBA at MBB and tier 2 firms? Also, what made you come back to consulting vs pivoting to tech or finance?

Has anyone been fired/terminated for expense related issues or along those lines? Does termination show up on your background check or impact you getting your next job? At a Big 4 firm

Would two promos look better at B4 vs one promo and then moving to LMM PE pre-mba or some sort of Corp dev / strategy role in industry? Post mba goal is PE Ops or MBB

Who here has made the switch from a local/regional firm to Big 4? What was your experience like? Would you recommend it? I’m considering taking a position that would be a promotion at a Big 4 firm after working at a local firm for a few years. My biggest concern is being overwhelmed by the difference in workload. Currently my weekly goal is 55/week billable, but I’m usually an hour or two below that and still receive good evaluations each year.

Has anyone been hired to fully remote positions during covid? Or negotiated it? Wondering if I should even bring it up (only interviewing at big 4 so far)

Big 4 Integration & Separation or Telecom Corp Dev PMI role. Which one is a better option in terms of growth, exit opportunities, work-life? Both offering same compensation and same profile, and I know specific company has specific culture, but still on an industry basis want to know.

H1b big 4 folks. What database are you using to check if we will make it for H1B new wage level application?

Do you get a severance package if you get fired in big 4 ?

Been interviewing several former Big 4 consultants for a tech role and I feel the need to make a PSA. Stop thinking that you are entitled to anything other than a lateral shift in terms of responsibility (comp is a different story and varied wildly). Stop thinking that you’re entitled to a Product role. Stop thinking you are somehow better than others because you worked at the Big 4. All your experience does is get you a slight preference in a resume screen (if that)

What are potential opportunities for Corp Dev? I’m 5 years at consulting at big 4, looking to eventually get into principle investing (intrigued by vc) wondering if Corp dev could help a role to investing later. Have an offer on the table and intrigued as it gives investment exposure and deal exposure. What else does this open to door too? CPA + strategy consulting experiences currently.

Any quitted big 4 right after a year? I got delayed with good rating but with the reason of not getting enough experiences (I took 3 months study leave). I also got assigned to busy files and for 70% of my file I worked till 10/11. Since WFH starts I completely lost the boundary of work/life and got depressed. I realized it's not the life I want and I got burned out and cried all the time. During COVID I realize it's hard to find a job... any suggestions? I can't hold on anymore

Anyone left for smaller tech consulting shops from B4/ACN? It seems like they have less/no name recognition, smaller clients, fewer project types, shallow IT capabilities (and therefore requires you to be doing everything from client facing to getting hands on and technical with bad hours), and pay isn't that good. How are they attracting and hiring people with all-in-one skillsets...? Seems like high risk, low reward.

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand. Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

Do any of my fish have experience with Snowflake as a company? If you got an offer with the same salary but a 20K signing bonus, would you take it? Ive heard their culture is light years ahead of anywhere in the Big 4.

People who have worked at boutique and B4, what has your experience been? Pros and and cons of each? I’m current at a boutique firm (supply chain) and want to exit to industry, but also interviewing at B4. Is B4 vastly different or same work different company?

Currently at T2, looking at a B4 exit. There are 2-3 roles that I’m interested in. Is it frowned upon to bring this up to the recruiter during the first interview or Should I go all in on one job?

Have an offer to switch to industry. Pay is great. Working experience seems wayyy better, but they just can’t compete with the benefits package provided by big 4. Is it worth the switch?

Anybody willing to give a referral for the Big 4?
