Consultants from Australia & NZ. Do you think the govt should ban the big 4 from consulting and focus on internal capacity?

I come from a pure healthcare background and have minimal finance skills/experience. Want to eventually get in healthcare investing in a MM PE fund.

Folks - What would an Audit senior manager in US migrating to Canada can expect as compensation from a big 4?

I left my last job because I didn't appreciate the culture (B4). However, it was probably because I was a terrible employee. However, I do find that my clients love me 10x more than my consulting colleagues. I joined a smaller firm to cover up the problem.

I drink during the day. I know it's the main reason for my ability to be a productive employee. Anyone else deal with this? I'm trying to control it through moderation management, Dharma meetings, therapy, and white knuckling.

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting.
