Hi Has anyone made the switch from a bank to BIG 4. I currently work in Market risk and have few offers from Consulting firms.
What should be considered while deciding ?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

Embarrassed and nervous about fallout, especially in the time of layoffs. Say a little prayer for me.

Would prefer less client-facing role if that’s even possible. Interested in life sciences, healthcare, general business/strategy consulting, or other areas.
