What are the Big 4? Discussions

Anyone work in the OGC of the Big 4? What was your experience?

Hi, does anyone know the salary of a manager in IT Audit (or regular audit) in the big 4 in Singapore? Also, do you know what the working hours are like in normal and busy season. Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I'm currently working at Infosys as MSBI developer and looking for opportunity in any of Big 4. I noticed there is a job vacancy for the role I fit in PWC in Linkedin and here to check if anyone could help me with referral.

TIA.

Tomorrow I have an interview with the partner of a fundraising and M&A boutique for tech startups, who’s also an active VC. Any tips? Although I’m currently at a B4, I have some corp dev experience at a tech unicorn. Thanks.

Part of PwC deals with an accounting background. I’m currently pursuing a MS in data analytics. PwC deals has a data analytics group but I don’t want to put all my hope in an internal transfer. Has anyone here pivoted into a data analyst role from big 4? What did you do in order to make it happen?

Anyone from Niti Aayog?
Is a role at Niti Aayog worth moving out from big 4?
@nitiaayog

Going to Wharton in the fall. Is it worth going MBB over returning to big 4 (sponsored)? Is this a common path?

Just saw a posting by a recruiter on LinkedIn - great opp for those who would like to work remote! DM ME If interested: “Big 4 Senior’s in Texas- looking for a Senior Accoutant for a rapidly growing, pre IPO industry leader in Austin, TX! Open to candidates who want to relo OR work 100% remote! Position is on the INTERNAL REPORTING side. SEC Reporting a plus for assistance purposes only (team focused, highly collaborative environment), but not the primary requirement of the role. “

For those that are familiar with the Big 4 AAS practice, which one has the largest market in NYC/Boston? I was extend a couple of offers and am having trouble deciding which one to take. TIA.

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

How much do big 4 FDD partners make all in?

For those that left Big 4 after 1 year for a smaller public accounting firm, do you regret your decision or you’re glad that you left?

Decided that I’m leaving audit today. Trying to understand the full range of opportunities in forensics. Will have my CPA and CFE. So far, I understand that there are client-serving firms like FTI and then the B4 will have forensics arms as well. What are some other forensic accounting roles? Pros and cons? Better than audit? Honestly just looking to learn anything.

I am an Audit S1 that wants to work in a B4 Forensics practice. Would it be best for me to accept an offer in Forensics at a much smaller firm (local, 150ish total employees) to gain experience and then try to move to B4 Forensics? Or should I stay in Audit and wait for B4 Forensics positions to open up? Please let me know your thoughts!

Anyone know much about Simon-Kucher? I have an offer for SC there for $125k base with all-in TC for the year expected $165-175k. Currently a CO with 3-4 YOE, and considering making the move. I think CO at my firm is the equivalent to SC at B4

Making about $103k base now, so not sure if I should hold out for better

Attempting to transfer from a big 4 in Chicago to New York. Received my offer for New York and saw that the offer was lower than initial offer. Talked to recruiter and they didn’t budge on salary.

What does everyone think about the b4 rating system? How can one be confident it's reasonable in terms of fairness? What incentive do managers have to rate fairly?

Currently accepted an internship at a firm for the winter and also just accepted a separate internship over the summer with a B4 firm. Should I inform the other firm that I already accepted a later internship with a B4 firm or keep it to myself until the internship is over? They are totally different positions and I wanted to have some experience with both but worry they will take it wrong.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Any Sales Leaders doing any of the following with their sales teams?

- Entering a new market.
- Entering an old market with a new product.
- Trying to focus sales efforts onto one objective.

I’m putting together a beta program that was successful for my current company and I want to see if it will help other leaders.

Let me know if this interests you below. Thanks!

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
