Big 4 risk assurance, putting in 2 weeks notice on Monday, the start of an extremely busy period for my already understaffed group. Who is deemed as a competitor & would require me leaving same day? Would someone like AlixPartners or Houlihan Lokey count or only big 4?
Or more importantly does none of this matter since my team is in busy season so I’ll be asked to serve out my two weeks anyway?

Just do it, you are leaving anyway. You will probably just be setting up walkthroughs or reviewing last years work papers during the 2 weeks

I left for Deloitte from PwC and was released early because of the group I was leaving for (cloud). Depends on your partners and depends on how badly you’re needed. I’ve never heard of those other firms, so blink tells me you should be fine to work your two weeks

What are you leaving to go do?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments

Curious what others risk tolerance / budget is for primary housing expense. Currently looking at houses and what I ‘can’ afford according to the math feels like way more house than I ‘should’ buy. For reference I’m a B4 7th yr partner. Last year total comp was around $1.8 and total other monthly fixed expenses are in the $20k/mo neighborhood. Just wondering how others approach this. Thanks.
