9 YOE in audit in 3 countries… but no US CPA (I have ACCA). What are the chances of landing a big 4 audit stint in the US (Manager above)? I’m happy to take Senior if it pays well but doubt that.

…or possibilities for other opportunities?

Time taken to become a partner in any of Big 4's?

As per my knowledge in EY it is 15 to 20 YOE

Are there major differences between the big 4 San Francisco office vs the San Jose office for tax?

Came from Uncle D audit and took an industry job a year ago. Turns out the grass isn’t greener and I miss public. Would it be better to go back to Deloitte or try a different B4 to push for more pay?

For anyone who has left big 4:

Can you tell me what you had to do with your work phone? Did you give it back? Did you keep it? Thanks!

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)

What are some non big 4 companies which hire and sponsor overseas candidates?

Big 4 to Avanade for Manager position??? (base offer 185K) Hoping to make a lateral move to MSFT near future 🙏🏼

I want to go PWC or Deloitte eventually. But KPMG reached out saying a tax partner wants to speak with me. Should I wait to apply my dream firm later on or just speak with KPMG? What’s the hours like as S1 in NYC during tax busy season in asset management group?

Hey 🐠. I have a friend who’s the CEO of a series A Indian start up who wants my help with building out their partnership and client base in Europe. I’m at a Big 4 now - have you seen people do this sort of a thing on the side in their personal capacity whilst leveraging their company / university network? Just wondering if it’s feasible / legal

Since start dates have been pushed back so far for B4, I’ve kept my options open. I also asked my B4 to transfer my offer to a new area. Right when they were able to set me up in the new area, an offer for an incredible job (DJ) was offered to me (within a day of B4 offer being transferred successfully). I’m planning on taking the DJ job, but how should I go about letting the B4 office know?

Hi all,

Looking for honest opinion on below offer comparison:

Current employment- Test lead in Big 4 with total 11 years exp, CTC-26 LPA
vs
Offered employment- Senior Test Analyst in a medium scale consulting firm in Auckland-NZ, CTC- 110000 NZD.

Which one would be better choice and why?

Hey 🐠, what are the best professional outcomes for undergraduate business majors? From my experience, it seems like it’s consulting, finance careers like PE, IB & VC, and Big 4 Accounting/Tax. Are my assumptions correct? Trying to advise my nephew.

Is it possible to get hired into Deloitte fed advisory as a senior consultant with 2 years big 4 fed experience and a cpa?

Started my career at a B4 tax. Throughout my 6 years thus far I've been ambitious, always over achieving and striving to be a partner one day. Some part of me still wants to make it there. Recently started looking outside of PA and got a great industry offer, money is good and the position seems interesting. Now I am second guessing myself. I always considered former colleagues who exited as "didn't have what it takes". I don't want to be that. Conflicted. Please share any words of wisdom.

Is it pretty much impossible to go from Big 4 to PE? I know everything about PMO but nothing about finance, aka I have learned nothing useful at PwC. Sigh :(

What is the average hike for senior technical writers from within big 4 for yoe 7-8?

Hi Everyone!

Not that I am planning to relocate anytime soon but wanted to have your thoughts on which country you think is a safer option to relocate to?
Earlier I was interested to move somewhere in Europe but with the whole Russia and Ukraine situation and now possibility of Sweden and Finland joining NATO and Russia telling them not to, I don't think Europe might be a good option in the coming years.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Fishes, I've 2 Years of Experience working in SAP Basis and so far my experience has been Meh! I've tried switching, but to no avail!
My salary has been low and the career progression has been really not so great! My parents are also motivating me for higher studies like doing MS in the US universities. I'm apprehensive if I'll be able to study there as I was an average student who gets around 60-85% or I should continue job?
