Avoid EY (and other Big 4 / 5 audit/consulting firms).
The glory days of these firms are long gone, and they are only filled with self certified Linkedin lifesytyle coaches - that's it.

Their core product was IP, and that's now available at the drop of a prompt.

The leaders are as real as the tooth fairy!

Any startup looking for data science/AI experts or AI products ?

Is there a diff between starting GC process with FAANG or Big 4? Is the specialty occupation a concern in the GC process? Appreciate any insights!

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

Looking for advice. Based in the Bay Area and have 3.5 yr exp in IT Audit mostly SOX with a little SOC exp (ex big 4, couple of regionals) and have been applying to industry (mostly tech companies) since May. made it to final interviews only to find out hiring freezes were in effect or they went with a LCOL candidate.Would like to exit to a GRC role or a mixed role thats 50% sox, 50% varied projects, or a SOX role if the team culture is good. No luck getting in non sox work at current firm.

I messed up my interview with Millennium LLP for an entry level role and I feel nothing but dread right now. I believe it was my only opportunity at obtaining a high salary / profile job compared to my other options that only pay half as much. How can I accept the fact that I might not be able to start out as successful as I wanted to be? I believe it’s extremely difficult to jump between layers (E.G. Big 4 to MBB) later on in my career.

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'm burnt. Attempting to figure out how to pivot.
Over 50, I've been a COO, SVP etc at mid-tier orgs ending in B4. Technical enough to call BS, ops expert, excel at organic sales. Systems engineer at heart - by SE I thrive building systems designed to produce results. Brainstorming, idea generation, jumping on the box strategy for me is thrilling. I want to build people not revenue. I want to develop solutions to problems that aren't billable. Yes, I understand the...

Has anyone left Big 4 for MBB and regretted it? Why?

Joined EY India a few months ago in tech consulting and have been working 12 hrs a day + 4-5 hrs on weekends and official holidays too. My project has literally 2 people (1 technical ie Me) and I'm myself new to the technology. I'm expected to make magic happen out of thin air and I don't know how I'm gonna survive here. Any advice?

Of the big 4 L&E, is it true Fisher Phillips pays the best?

What laptops does your firm use? Specifically KPMG and other big 4. Is everyone using Lenovos?

Should I leave Deloitte for a move to a new city + a mid size firm job in a litigation practice area I’m not interested in, just for the sake of gaining law firm experience? (Been at big 4 one year graduated law school in 2021) or stay at Deloitte a little longer until I find a job in an area I actually want to learn about

S1 at B4 now but looking to do something more traditional (?) that will provide opportunity in finance/accounting and not something ‘risk’ oriented that will pigeonhole me.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
