Currently a 2nd yr Consultant at a mid-size firm in a tech role. I am definitely a top performer but I feel like the firm is just absolutely mediocre. Not sure if I should leave for Big4 or Industry?

Senior Manager 1: It’s one of the top 10
EY 1: I agree, I never wanted to go after the name as well. However, it’s really hard to understand the true nature of the job unless you actually work somewhere. My life feels very unfulfilling at the moment. I tried very hard to push to my second year and I consider myself an extremely hard worker and I’m constantly trying to improve processes. Management seems to appreciate my work but at the end of the day I feel like we as a firm settle for less and there aren’t too many people around me who care too much for what we deliver. Also, most projects are extremely unorganized as it leads to a more stressful environment for no reason

Big 4 can be mediocre too. If you do make the switch really try to understand the true nature of the job. Don’t fall for a name

I would say go for it. I worked in a midsize accounting firm for a year and jumped to Big 4 after. I wanted to experience what it was like to work at one of the top firms. I’m glad I made the switch and also have had the midsize experience. You definitely learn a variety of different clients in midsize but the technology, flexibility and access to a wide network of people is better at Big 4.

PwC 1: Thanks for sharing that. I have friends at the Big4 and they’ve told me the same thing. I feel like it’s not just the name, the Big4 are well developed and mature as compared to mid-sized firms.

If that’s the case for you then you should go to the B4 or private. You’re like the average of 5 people you hang out with and maybe you need that change to elevate yourself. I’m sure we’d love to have you 😂

B4 has great reputation, resources, and network. I can’t comment on going to private yet, but I’m hoping when I get there that it’s better pay, less pressure, and more work life balance.
