Only big 3 experience sadly

Lmao

I thought B4 experience was stupid until I started applying to jobs. Trust me it is a massive resume boost. Is the prestige deserved? Eh, debatable. But it's absolutely there.

I agree. Many of the directors or executives I interviewed with have PA experience and emphasized it.

I’ve heard working in public is like taking your years of experience and multiplying it by 1.5 or 2 to equally compare you to those in industry.

Could be. My friend who works in industry has 2 years of additional experience than me at 3 years. We applied for the same role and I was given an offer. The role is in a tax area I have little experience in.

Take a look at job postings and you’ll see most of them say big4 experience is preferred along with CPA. Neither are shoe-ins but they give a leg up

Any interview tips for a manager role? I'm coming from a smaller consulting firm with a lot of experience filling prominent interim executive positions at large well known health systems. The people im interviewing with have largely big 4 backgrounds but i am very comfortable with the projects and managerial roles the job description entails, but i am wondering if you big boys have any particular things you look for when youre hiring for this type of role, or any sort of preemptive judgements for those that dont come from big consulting firms. The manager role at this company is two levels below partner (with only sr. Manager in between). Thoughts?

A bit conflicted on if I should take it and run, or if its worth fighting for a comp that matches the duties
