Leave. Kpmg isn’t recognized as a financial services firm. The other three have highly regarded FS practices. If you’re seeking industry then both the “tax” and “kpmg” titles are dead weight.

Landed a contract role at Deloitte via MBO Partners for an audit senior role. MBO is making me a W-2 employee for MBO, but I am getting paid $125/hour plus overtime. Am I missing something here or am I about to be making $5K/week (or more with OT)? Anyone have any experience with MBO or doing contract work like this? Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.
