Is it a Deloitte to be working for big4? If not, does that mean Accenture greater than big 4? I am sure the employees are Ernst and Young enough to work for these kind of companies.

Hiya peeps

Got an offer from Australia 110k AUD including super plus relocation expenses handled by them. My wife and I would be moving. She'd get an open work permit in Australia. My wife is in the IT audit.

Another incoming offer from big 4 Canada around 85k CAD.

Thoughts anyone? Taxes in both these countries are really high but betting on my getting a job which will make things easier.

Hi Team,
I am joining one of the big 4 consulting soon, before putting down my notice with my current employer the background investigation team informed me that except the current employer all elements are completed and finalized. The Current employer verification will be done before the week of the start date. Is it ok to put down the notice now.

Peoples who’s first job out of college was a total dud. IE super niche, low transferable skills how did it end up for you? Currently in a fairly niche B4 role (IT Audit) where the only exit is more of this work or maybe cyber which im not interested in. Im applying to a bunch of data analytics positions trying to restart, even though they would be a hit to “brand value”, I think I could learn what I need to pivot to a data engineering role/find something that is more technical/job isn’t for me.

Curious about compensation at MBB vs B4/ACN. Obviously MBB makes more at the highest levels, but is it really that much more in terms of total comp? It is definitely a lot more cash comp but for example, ACN does a pretty good RSU program which from what I’ve read gets people pretty close to MBB. Of course, cash is king though… thoughts?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
