Did a one week contract gig between jobs - should I put it on my current background check for a big 4 or not bother? Will it show up later on?

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

Can anyone refer me for a Assistant manager - Pursuit/deal advisory role in big 4? I have a total of 9.5 YOE in pre and post sales support. Please DM
PS- I worked with EY for 4 years as a Virtual Account Manager.

My girlfriend thinks Big 4 is a pyramid scheme and they're breaking the law.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Thinking about making the switch to BDO! Is there a traditional pension, like in B4?
