Very rare. I’ve seen AP to B4 Principal only once in 15 years. Just my 2c, not real data, but a good sample. Talking to my friends who lead B4 practices, it’s not a matching skill set.
I came across someone on LinkedIn who does | thing | with his job title and he included Ex-Deloitte. I’ve seen ex-MBB and ex-FAANG but never Deloitte. Are people getting a little too generous with the Ex- monicker?
Any switch to PE from a non-MBB firm with no experience in M&A? How have you reframed your experience and/or get the attention of headhunters?
Hi all, i am a Big 4 senior consultant with 6 years of experience in FS consulting (S&O consulting rather than reg/risk) Ive just been told i wont be making manager this year. Weighing up the possibility of doing an MBA from LBS to switch to MBB. Will be entering LBS in aug 21 intake, with expected completion in Dec22. Will be 30 yo when i graduate. Wanted to gauge peoples thoughts.
HelloI work at an MBB which is hiring for "Research Analyst" role (1.5+ years experience). I would like to offer my referral to folks from marginalized communities (DBA, minority communities, LGBTQ). DM if interested, and I'll share further details.
If I apply and get an offer to another big 4, can I delay accepting the offer for a few months?
Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.
I’m a lawyer in B4 tax with 2 yoe about to make senior in June. Would it be foolish to throw all that away to switch into an entirely different practice area of law (not tax)? Would it be better to wait until senior to make that switch?

When taking a call with a recruiter that provides an offer - is best practice to say great thank you. Then hear about the offer and schedule a call later to then negotiate? Assumption being to need time to review offer and perks and to compare against others?

Too many things at once means I can’t do any one thing right. Trying to draft something but need to get our 5 emails on something else, immediately revise that thing and get it out, speak to the person to update them on that other thing, where am I on the initial thing? Why was there an error in the draft? Because I couldn’t focus and you kept asking me to get it done and I had a dozen other random shit pop up that took attention and then I had to rush back to your shit.
Has anyone tried a referral revenue sharing program for advisory business referred by CPA's, attys, insurance agencies?
Received an offer from Deloitte as a consultant at $115k, $10k sign on bonus, 12% annual bonus. About 6.5 yrs out of college working full time as a consultant since. This is at best a flat move both in role and comp. recruiter said that pay, sign on, and target bonus are max and there is no room to negotiate up…Essentially take it or leave it. Does that sound accurate? Should I ask to come in at senior consultant?
Need your thoughts - I have 2 rentals now (both CF $1,000/mo each) total combined equity ~$300K. Thinking of selling both and buying a 4-5 unit complex in a CA beach city and living in one of the units. Giving up the CF right now would suck, but I would double the amount of doors I have. What would you do?

Does any one have any tips for how I can get my SO to sit down with me to go line by line of everything in order for us to figure out where the money is actually going? Given how much we make combined we shouldn’t be dealing with money like this..

I was raised on the streets of Mumbai, and ended up on a game show to win a $1 million prize. I used my winnings to start a food truck in SF and lived an alternative vegan based lifestyle surrounded by artists, poets and other liberal bohemes. But after seeing Kamala’s performance last night, I just can’t bring myself to vote for her and Sleepy Sexual Predator Joe Biden. Their Antifa socialism is truly dangerous for the country. With a heavy heart, I’ll be voting for PRESIDENT TRUMP MAGA 🇺🇸

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before.
