Are other Big 4 firms also setting up practices to compete at WITCH-level rates? I’ve noticed some teams billing at nearly half the rate of peers at the same level in our practice—and they seem to be fully sold too. It also seems to come with the toxicity in terms of work environment.

If you are competing at price with WITCH you are in category collapse.

Have a friend in another firm not big 4. They finished work in 3 days for what traditionally takes 6 months using a cool AI tooling and takes 90% margin. This is a process consulting work ...so get ready.

Not sure if we are talking about same thing here. The concern is celebration and encouragement of cheap incompetent toxic people. I wouldn’t be concerned if a talented individual agrees to work 50 bucks lower than me. That means I need to either move out or up skill myself.

Of course, we offshore most of the delivery to USI now

It’s a terrible way of undercutting the pay. Forget about the pay, the incompetence and toxicity they bring is unbearable.

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai. I have a financial audit background (4 years Big-4), 1,5 year in deal advisory (half year financial due diligence department, 1 year valuation department). I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
What is considered to be normal in relation to WBL, compensations in Dubai for such role or similar?

Is there a way to work part time or close to 40 hours a week average with big 4 in advisory? I don’t really care how much I get paid and just want some WLB and health insurance lol.
