B4 Assurance Staff 2 - I’ve applied to a couple of low level (2 yrs experience) consulting positions at another B4 but haven’t heard back. Is it risky to reach out via LinkedIn directly to the other firm’s recruiter and ask what I can do to make myself a more attractive option? I want to know what certs/resume builders I need to get there

what type of consulting role is it? To be honest, look at the attributes & responsibilities they are looking for in online job postings & find ways to gain experience in this in assurance or tax

One was just an entry level consulting role over a management software platform. I think I meet most of the requirements for these roles except where they need experience in process improvement/sales/operations etc. that’s where I would really have to shape my work. I guess I just wonder if they would even believe it was that applicable

You can definitely ask the hr of the target firm but I’m sure you know they can’t give you feedback or insight on why they didn’t hire you. They can only tell you what types of ppl they are looking for, which won’t differ much from what they posted. If you want constructive feedback, maybe reach out to those full time recruiters on LinkedIn, not all of them know the answer, but there are good ones who can provide constructive suggestions or more of an inside view

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work.

As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
