Anyone know much about Big 4 competitors, say largest accounting firms rank 5-10? Looking for a friend

Hello Fishes,
I received a call for interview from Deloitte. However I don't have all the skills/exposure mentioned in JD. Has anyone cleared an interview with similar scenario in big 4?

Hello, I am currently having 6 years of experience in US Taxation in Partnership(1065) Federal. Currently I am in the position of Assistant manager, I have cracked the interview of a few Big 4 companies.
Whats the Fixed CTC should I ask for?

Transactions salary range for experienced managers or senior managers SF/LA location. Exploring options with other big 4. Any suggestions.

Im planning to pursue the course "Certified Internal Auditor". Is it worth it? What is the scope for it in Big 4 without a CA degree?

Hello! Would anyone be willing to give a referral for MBB or Big 4 in management consulting in Canada?

I would love to have a chat and ask a few questions. Thank you!

How does PwCs reputation in the consulting market place compare to the other top firms (big 4, MBB, Boutiques, etc.)

Anyone in B4 M&A tax left to get a JD? Currently a CPA and considering the jump.

Planning to do a PRM or FRM qual. How useful is it to move from Big 4 Risk and reg consulting to industry? Finding it hard to get anything other than non-PM roles

Has anyone ever been a contractor for any of the big 4? Just curious what the experience was like. I'm looking for more flexibility so was looking at this option.

EY feels kinda...cheap. Are the other B4 like this?!

Let's post salaries, I'll go first senior 2 ITS 83k big 4

Deciding between a few offers that I have received/am expecting in the coming days/weeks and would love advice!

Current Salary: $80k TC

-Sr Business Analyst at major company in financial industries: $100k TC
-Sr Consultant at Big 4: $110k TC
-Sr Consultant at Boutique Firm: $125k TC

I would love to work in financial industries, but I dont know if having a Big 4 name would open more doors in future, or if $25k is too much to pass up on. Any input is appreciated :)

For those who have gone from one big 4 to another…was it frowned upon by your superiors/looked at as a slap in the face, even if your intentions are to leave on good terms?

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?

Just been offered a manager position (people & org consulting) at a big 4 in Qatar for 24k (QAR). Based on previous threads this seems low for the region. Especially as 9k goes towards accommodation (max unfurnished 1br) ....Have I been low balled? Or is this normal?

Tomorrow is my first day at Deloitte and yet to receive my laptop

Is this normal ? UPS package says label created but not picked up for last two days !

I feel like my boss never joins my working call with my stakeholders, is this normal in big tech, like they don't have time to sit in the same meeting with you to understand and course correct your working styles? Like I am supposed to take the whole lead from day 1 independently.

I was promoted to manager in July 2020 (3,5 yr of experience). Currently preparing for YE but honestly, I couldn’t care less - what motivates one to push for SM promotion? Not my case atm, but wanted to hear what motivates ppl to keep going as I don’t feel like it’s worth it.

Hi Team,

Few days back I had a post stating that I would be joining one of the consultancy by end of this month, my question was will my joining date be impacted due to the current tech layoff. Is there a way that the new employer can monitor the post and take necessary action?

To other big 4: Are you also restricted to work remotely outside the US?? If yes, why??

Does anyone want a referral to The Siegfried Group? Required 3+ years Big 4 experience.

I’m honestly dreading going in today to hear *nothing* about the Buffalo shooting, the terrorism and white supremacy that keeps getting people murdered. We’re just supposed to keep responding to emails and join calls.

Wrapped up 3rd interview (including initial HR call) on earlier this week Director… when do you think I could get a offer?

My SO just started with PWC Australia. I might have to relocate to the states in one year. Will it be possible for my SO to relocate to states as well through PWC at around 1 year mark? Does PWC allows that just after/within one year of joining? Assume she'll get L2 through me, if that matters.

Any roles within Big 4 that would hire with no degree? Could be anything - doesn’t have to be consulting. Asking for a friend! TIA!

Thoughts on exiting to a second tier accounting firm to advance level (D—>MD) and more pay? P’s get paid less but also sounds like less pressure/stress and more opps to be a leader sooner
