Currently B4 in the US and considering move to Toronto. What is the environment/economy like there now? Consulting dominated by the same firms as in the US? Better opps in industry? Recommendations?

Currently a staff 2 in audit at a big 4 firm (will be promoted to senior later this year), and I’m curious about switching into FDD. I’ve been seeing the referral plugs in here from all of the FDD folks, but it’s mainly been directed at those with more experience. Should I wait it out to make the switch or would I stand a chance with only 1.5 years of experience?

Are all big 4 401k match as much of a joke as deloitte’s? Maxed out contributions this year and they are matching a whopping $900

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.
What type of things would you be asking yourself if you were in my shoes and debating to jump ship?

I’m starting at MBB shortly as an associate, laterally from Big 4. Husband & I are trying to decide if we want to buy a house and settle in the city we’re moving to - I am potentially interested in making partner (if possible) but also open if a good exit opportunity comes my way. Exit opps would certainly be in a different location. Anyone have thoughts on ideal length to stay at MBB?

Has anyone here been able to recover from career setbacks caused by Dot Com, 9-11, or Great Recession economy? Just turned 40 with 15 years of relevant industry experience, and my Big 4 employer brought me in at a level designed for 25 year-olds. Career progression is apparently based on time in role rather than performance, so I’ll have to spend 8 years climbing back to the level I was at pre-recession. Is there another way, or is my career stuck in neutral?

Need support & insights. Burnt out and so so ready to quit. Feel sick every workday and starting to hate the industry and resent normal work.

We’re saving so I can quit in the spring without a new gig. In the meantime I’m trying to put as many deserving people in leadership track positions as I can, and fight some of the toxic nonsense at the leadership table.

Please tell me it’s ok to leave this industry and that I’ll find something new, even in a growing recession and as a woman over 40. 😬
