Can anyone speak on the differences in Finance Transformation groups between KPMG and GT at the Associate level. Looking for any insight on differences in reputation, WLB, exit opps, and MBA application optics.

Any insight/clarification would be greatly appreciated!

If you’re worried about prestige between KPMG and GT and you’re doing the same type of work then go with KPMG just for the Big 4 aspect.

For MBA apps, I’ve seen people go to to T15 programs but I don’t have the full picture of their GMAT, GPA, essays, etc. so the FT practice doesn’t hurt your chances per say, but you probably still need to do very well in the other app components

I’m in the FT group currently applying to MBA. Can’t speak on the difference between us and GT though. DM if you have any specific Qs

FT is one of the few groups at KPMG that is actually crushing it. Lots of growth and healthy pipeline. One of the more prestigious practices up there with Lighthouse.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
