Do any of the Big 4 offer contract jobs/any type of positions where I could just do FDD work but not be client facing? I don’t mind the data crunching and report writing, but not interested in the client relationship aspect of the job, leading mgmt meetings, buyer calls, etc. Would rather just do the type of work that offshore teams do even if that means taking a pay cut. I have no interest in doing this long-term and just need something to make $ while I figure out what I want to do.

There is much administration such as billing and meetings at Big 4. This time is not billable and it takes up about 25% of my time. My question is whether there is a significant portion of this done at other non- Big 4 public accounting firms? Trying to understand if this is a Big 4 expectation only or it will be the same at all firms.

I’m in the phase of my life where I want to start an online business or side hustle. I’ve researched and experimented with different things and it’s really hard to execute or stay consistent.

Big 4 and MBB engagement managers (helping with scheduling etc.) , the average salary is $120k. Does that sound right? Seems very high since it's up there with audit manager salary.

Has anyone moved from Big 4 to a Tier 2 because they wanted to reset, go down a level (but hopefully getting paid more), build up new skills and become a better consultant with more interesting work ? If so I’d love to hear your story :)
