Anyone here work for BDO cyber/ technology consulting? Currently Big 4 but not finding it worth it the higher I move up. More of a challenge politically than client focused work.

I used to work in the ediscovery field there but then left for the big 4. I interviewed with them about 9 months ago looking for a cyber position. They were having a hard time selling the work. All I got from the interview was they're doing more tech focused work rather than cyber.

People who know, “No” BDO

Uh oh, whys that P1?

There ad is “People who know. know BDO”. I was just trying to be funny. Sorry no particular info on their professional services, just that they are Tier 2. I know of recruiters who joined and left after a little while for other Big4. If that’s any indication

Ohhhh gotcha. :) hmmm I'm not too much in the know about what firms may be better but have been with a big 4 for 7 years and it's just not for me in the long run so looking for other options / firms to consider.

Aren’t politics an issue everywhere? I hear other consultants complain about it, but industry is so much worse

I worked for the government and in industry. There are pros cons on any of them, its just what your willing to endure. Industry/ government is slower paced, not a lot of opportunity... so trying to think through all of it to determine where I may want to land.

I interviewed there about 3 years. At the time, they were primarily looking for staff to work on eDiscovery cases. Not sure if that's still the case

@op...if you have been big 4 for 7 years. Try accentureand focus on execution

Recruiters jump ship all the time, so don't use that as a baseline. What makes BDO tier 2? What makes a place tier 1?

BDO is a want to be big 4... Very small close nit groups.. I personally wouldn't recommend it. They have a well structured and an impressive tax practice. However their audit and technology portion isn't their strong suit at all.

Any recommendations for smaller, well established consulting firms - specifically in ther cyber/ technology space?

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.

This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.

Anybody made a switch from funds to investment banking? What is your role and did you find anything challenging in doing so?
