Big 4 financial services consulting or Investment banking at a small unknown boutique firm?

Those of you in B4, what’s the general workload/climate like right now? Generally quite happy where I am, but B4 came calling and waving a fairly substantial raise for what is functionally the same job that I currently have, but it’s going to have to check off a lot of other boxes. I also don’t want to find myself working double the hours for only a 30-50% raise and unable to actually enjoy my improved cash flow.

Hi all,

I am currently working in big4 audit as a manager (20 LPA CTC), my wife is in a tax role in diff big 4, same CTC.

We have a Canada PR but are not getting jobs from here so will have to go there and apply. Average salary will be around CAD 80000-85000.

I have a job offer in NZ for 85000 NZD. My wife will be able to work, but will have to go there and find a job.

We are confused what to do, as she feels it will be harder to get a tax job in NZ. Looking for any advice.

Thoughts on moving from a Big 4 to a startup? At Manager and above level.

I accepted EY’s offer for the senior audit position. Main reason I accepted was because I want B4 experience. Does the split hurt me or not really?

Hi Fishes,
What is the average CTC for a senior tax associate with 4 yrs of experience as per market? Especially at big 4(KPMG)

Currently an internal consultant for a large, top tier domestic bank with 4 YOE considering opportunities at big 4 firms. What’s a reasonable expectation for base salary / bonus for consultant/senior consultant roles?

Any idea how much a valuation analyst makes on average in the big 4 CREs?

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Are all the job in consulting in Germany basically Management jobs? As far i saw (in big 4) all the devs are outsourced. Is it true?

anyone work in vancouver/toronto big 4 in audit that can give a rough estimate to average hours in and out of busy season in these offices?

Can anyone speak to how the hours/WLB (or lack thereof) compare between B4 and Big Law?

Deloitte, I feel ya. Way to go on the early promotions! Also everyone's situation is different, so I won't tell you what you should or shouldn't do. Just know that at the end of the day, if they treat you negatively as a result, there are PLENTY of other offices within Deloitte or any other Big 4 you could work in and be treated fairly while being open at the same time.

Big 4 Senior Managers 🐠!
What is your salary, location (HCOL vs LCOL), SL and level (SM1, SM2, etc.)? In Risk Advisory and having annual $ increase discussion this month.

Looking through the Reddit and Fishbowl salary threads as well. Back in consulting after some time in industry.
TIA!

What exit ops have you guys heard of from B4 m&a tax as a JD/LLM? I’m an intern right now and I think I’ll likely accept an offer as the work and team has been great, but I don’t think I see myself here past 5 or so years. Any details would be appreciated (comp, WLB, difficulty, etc)

How much experience is recommended before applying? I’m 2 years out of undergrad and have been working in consulting at Big 4 since graduation. Aiming for M7 and interested in Data & Analytics and Finance.

I’m starting as a Manager at one of the big 4 in 3 weeks. I left my tenure track job 4 yrs ago so I’m accustomed to non-academic work but still intimidated. Advice? Will I succeed this first year?

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Been thinking about making a move to something outside of finance and wanted to see if some have made the move to doing advisory/consulting work at a big 4?

Hi All ,My skillset is sap ewm functional .I mostly see openings in service based companies .Compensation offered compared to other skills like Java, big data ,python etc is very low.For instance for a 10 yoe the maximum budget is 28lpa offered by a big4 ,typical service based companies offer even lesser .
What are the options to upskill or get into product based companies.

In an environment where we’re barely surviving, fielding resignations left and right, I thought this might be a good place to vent, source ideas, discuss common trends etc. Our field is very unique and hard to find comps in terms of salary, daily duties, expectations so I’m hoping we can have an open dialogue on this!

How do the firms compare with covid impact (layoffs, pay cuts, revenue loss, return to work plans, etc)?

Idk why I would put in extra effort at work when I can put in less effort snd come away with the same result. Why try harder for no reason?

FT: No. 1 wants to build in-house Crowd Consultancy

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
