The Big 4 refers to the largest accounting and professional services firms: Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Is there any difference in salary between different groups in a big 4 firm? Example: Tax AWM vs M&A

Need advise - I've been in consulting focussing on tech/digital transformation for 7 years in the UK with Big 4 and boutique experience. I've received offers from two organisations with similar comp.

1) Mid-tier consultancy with an amazing culture

2) Tech Accelerator (boutique org with a larger backing)

I'm torn between the two. It boils down to culture + brand vs innovating + interesting work.

What would you suggest?

People who have done Big 4 and middle market firms what are your pros/cons? In my experience PwC had really high standards academically so very smart peers, way better technical training and great tech but the scope of what I learned about was more narrow. Middle market has worse tech, and minimal technical training, but the hands on work I’ve become gotten way more big picture knowledge of the clients we serve.Also the Partners actually know who I am and talk to me.
