1.5 Years into Audit role at PwC.
Just got offer from Bain Capital for finance associate (guessing around 75% accounting work, 25% finance requests)
Take it, or try to jump to another big 4 to get into advisory/consulting?
Or wait until senior?

Bain capital, without a single doubt

Congrats.

Bain Capital is a good name but it’s still back office role. If you want to make it to a front office role switching to an advisory position is a better option. You probably won’t make it to front office of Bain capital from a big 4 advisory role but a smaller MM company is possible.
