Big 4 vs International Law firms - discuss….

I see news articles all the time about Big 4 entering the legal market. Has anyone heard of this? I’m curious to see if an attorney providing legal services while working at B4 will make the same as a big law associate. Could this be the end of the huge big law starting salary?

Hey folks, I am interested in sustainability and the entire finance aspect of it. However my exp in th area is woefully inadequate. I'm trying to read up. Currently in the finance transformation team at EY (not related at all to sustainability). And no background studies wise.
Is there any chance B4 hire ppl who are interested. Have been with the firm 5 years, but haven't asked yet if they can internally move me.

Many people say our services are terrible. Without first hand seeing the ppl do our services (unlike consulting) Is there anyone that can give more insight into how our services actually level up and compete against the big 4? Is it just me or does Optiv need to be more like the big4 and change it’s model around to be more like a big4 consulting firm?

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?

I want to apply at Big 4 as an Senior Accountant, is it really very secure position? or is it a bad time to start a new job?

Partners, need some career advice. I'm in a niche BU at a big 4 focusing on risk related to certain cutting edge innovations in my industry (intentionally being vague). I'm being heavily recruited by a competitor firm to jump. I have just over 6 YOE, looking to promote in a little over a year (which would still be early at my current firm). To clarify, I'm not looking to leave, but will never say never. Firm looking to poach talks big game RE comp (potential to double my high 100s salary). Cont.

What is the FDD PwC equivalent at the other big 4 called? Is it also FDD? Thinking of applying to all to compare offers.

I am an Audit S1 that wants to work in a B4 Forensics practice. Would it be best for me to accept an offer in Forensics at a much smaller firm (local, 150ish total employees) to gain experience and then try to move to B4 Forensics? Or should I stay in Audit and wait for B4 Forensics positions to open up? Please let me know your thoughts!

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

Starting to think about making the switch from agency to brand side. Any tips from strategists who have already made the jump? And is there a level at which it makes the most sense (i.e. should I wait until I make Director and then make the switch, or does it not really matter)?

Hi everyone,
Past the first meet and greet-interview, now scheduled for the next one- any idea what to expect considering I am transitioning from a clinical focus role to a non clinical focus role as an Business Analyst.Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
With thanks!

How do you stay productive when you're working remotely?

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Let's settle the debate, where to get the best pierogies in Pittsburgh?

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

How hard is it to get promoted at Amazon from a L4 BIE to a L5 BIE? Any tips? Any help will be greatly appreciated😊

How much $$ should I ask for a senior manager (planner) role?

I do things (late nights/weekends) that I don't think my managers/partner knows about since everything is running well - directly correlated with elected hours spent. Is it weird to bring this up?

I made an offer to a candidate today. It feels really good to make that phone call and hear the other person being happy.

Hi all - just relocated here from Brooklyn. Any recommendations on neighborhoods to live? It’s just my husband and I - mid 30s. Checked out holland village today and I loved the vibe but not the commute. Thanks in advance!

Any US firms in SG pay COLA?

Any lawyer/former lawyer open to being a mentor? Junior lawyer and a bit lost on the career front. Alternatively, any advice or sources I could look for a mentor would be much appreciated!

How’s everyone doing this 2022? Busy as 2021? Mine’s definitely much slower - corporate.

Would be great to get more SG lawyers to talk about working in SG law firms. Think it will be a great avenue to get advice, share experiences and commiserate together

Hi all - considering making the move from NY to Singapore biglaw (cap markets/M&A) in the next couple of years. Would love to hear a little bit about lifestyle and work culture at various offices in SG (bonus points for corporate practice). Over here, you always here generalizations about Asian offices being sweatshops but not much firsthand experience. Thanks in advance!

Wife (M&A midlevel in NYC V10) and I are considering relocating to SG in a few years. Anyone made the move? How’s the SG work culture like in Biglaw firms? Do they provide expat relocation? TIA.
