Big 4 firms are extremely risk averse. It obviously depends on the infraction but this considerably decreases your viability as a candidate, especially if it is for inappropriate behavior or financial malfeasance.

Currently accepted an internship at a firm for the winter and also just accepted a separate internship over the summer with a B4 firm. Should I inform the other firm that I already accepted a later internship with a B4 firm or keep it to myself until the internship is over? They are totally different positions and I wanted to have some experience with both but worry they will take it wrong.

Let’s say staff got an offer from a competing B4 to jump ship moving up in comp and title. Can they eventually boomerang back to your teams? If so, how would you feel about this?

For those who have gone from one big 4 to another…was it frowned upon by your superiors/looked at as a slap in the face, even if your intentions are to leave on good terms?

PMDs: what’s year 1 ACN MD TC? How would an ACN MD comp trajectory compare with a B4 Partner trajectory 5 yrs down the road? What are the pros and cons of both?

Looking for advice: would you stay in partner pipeline at Big 4 or move to one of the MBBs as a principal? I am hearing that with Big 4 getting into strategy more, MBBs will be obsolete soon thoughts?

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

Planning to do a PRM or FRM qual. How useful is it to move from Big 4 Risk and reg consulting to industry? Finding it hard to get anything other than non-PM roles

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai. I have a financial audit background (4 years Big-4), 1,5 year in deal advisory (half year financial due diligence department, 1 year valuation department). I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
What is considered to be normal in relation to WBL, compensations in Dubai for such role or similar?

Which big 4 firms or MM have the best FDD comp. so far? Excl. A&M (I know their comp., over half our practice has quit to go there lol)

Got offered 115K with 25-30% bonus for a fund accountant role with 3 years of public experience. Is that normal? Seems like really high. I live in NY to clarify. Combination of Big 4 and midsize experience. What’s the normal salary range for ppl in that range?

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone help me with a referral in Bain & Co. For the role of Associate/Senior Associate?

Experienced hires who have recently joined Big 4, how rough has the transition been?

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?

No one is talking in this grp. Why?

Taking an informal survey how many firms (I) have the junior and midlevel summer associates plan the bulk of the summer events (lunches but also evening events) and (ii) count time spent on the summer program as qualified billable work (in that partners see how much you bill to it on your time sheet)?

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

How do PPMDs make sure when you are replacing an incumbent, you don't get handed down a broken system ? What sort of knowledge transfer and contractual framework do you get the client to agree to and how do you negotiate on that? I feel clients are not always honest and hide a lot of landmines which a consulting company can walk into and blamed for it.

Heard that partners at MBB that focus on public /social sectors (higher education institutions, government, non-profit orgs) get lower salaries than peers. Is that true and by how much?

How do you identify potentials in people?

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations in terms of books or learning material that I can pick up to learn about sales and marketing relevant to the consulting industry?

For the Partners and really anyone in a leadership position: how do you motivate your people to take initiative? i.e. inferring next steps and taking action without waiting to be explicitly told to

Partners, what are some good business novels/books that you read recently and helped you in your day to day roles

Have any of you considered FIRE? I'm sure some of the partners are young and rich enough to retire. So why not say screw working until 60 and to hell with the pension? Travel the world and live life while I can?

For the partners/mds/directors etc how are you protecting your money with the new administration? I’m assuming Biden’s plan will help the lower class but for the upper class I’m sure there have been strategies your advisors have been telling you. I currently have 20k in savings and feel like it’s just getting inflated away.

Partners, what is your advice to folks who are currently on bench on how to best utilize their time and what value add activities (personal/professional) that they can/should do.

Partners, what is your magic number (in terms of dollars in the bank), after which you intend to retire?

There is an opportunity in another office to build out their business in a large industry that I identified. The office has very little client base within the industry. The partners do not have experience in the industry and there are no senior managers or managing directors in that office. As a SM4, how do I go about asking to build out that business with the hope that it’ll build a strong case and accelerate my path to partner?

Big4 Partners: could you provide some insights into how the Big4 pensions work. Assume one becomes partner at 40, and then retires at 50 after full vesting, how much annual $$ you get after retirement?

What is your recommendation for how a Junior member can work well with Executives, Partners, Directors, etc. on a daily basis? For context, I am a PM for an engagement that has me communicating with really high up members from every angle.

Hello, Partners. Can anyone recommend fantastic courses, videos or training for a new manager like myself? I’ve come from a tech background and looking to be C-Suite
