CFGI, Connor Group, or Alliance Group. Anyone have insight on the difference between these firms? All else equal, which would you choose? Figure perhaps CFGI being the largest may offer broader opportunities in the future

I interviewed at Conner but took the job at CFGI. We are getting pretty big and starting to lose some of that magic from being a smaller firm. Some offices are more relaxed than others. Try to interview with as many local office folks as possible to get a feel for it. Understand in office expectations etc. If you're a self starter and done well at Deloitte, you'll do well here.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I work at a relatively small group with BDO, the culture is night and day compare to the typical large groups. Despite being fully remote, culture and the people in the group is great, but the group is getting bigger and pros of being a small group starting to fade slowly.

Probably depends on which city, but my vote is for CFGI. Ive been working there almost a year now and love it so far. Its a lot more social and positive compared to audit, and people show more personality. Ive also been happy with the clients and work that i do.
From what ive seen, Connor Group was big (due to specializing) during the IPO times but shrunk since. I’ve never heard of the Alliance Group.

Yea sure!

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
