Anyone here working on consulting innovation

Specifically

1. Changing the way Big 4 / MBB deliver their services ex. moving away from hourly billing towards software or managed services

2. External: working on innovation programs for clients.

Right now doing “strategy” consulting but it’s glorified PMO and want to do something more tuned to my interests.

I don’t know how many people are in the European market who can help me but here we go. As someone who recently finished an internship at a Big 4 company in Germany, I realized that every strat role requires or strongly recommends a masters degree (as I have a cs undergrad). So here’s my situation: would it be better to do a masters in management at a top school in Europe, or accept an offer from EYP for a full time role. I don’t want my lack of masters degree to come up negatively in the future

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer.

I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?
