Ive commonly seen, although typically PwC risk assurance (it audit), move to EY Advisory (risk & pi-finance). My suggestion is highlight your accounting background (pro forma financial modeling, valuations, etc). Network internally and hit up advisory recruiters at the other big4 firms and jump shit to a position of interest

Is it possible to just get an financial analysis job at a bank big 4? Unimpressed with EY thus far

Certainly not impossible, again you just need to highlight where youd be a value add. If you done financial analysis then sure, make sure your resume sells that well.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
