Do people in FAANG, Microsoft, or really any tech in F500 have stock limitations like we do in consulting? Or what I'm really trying to ask is if I exit to them can I finally just use robo advisors without having to worry about independence or similar issues?

Just exit to a consulting firm that isn't an audit firm at its core OP, the onerous independence requirements you are likely referring to are unique to the Big 4

I know what you’re asking, when I joined Deloitte I had to let go using Robinhood and Crypto. At msft I am free to buy any stock I want, using any robo advisor like Robinhood etc.

Oh I also do not have to report anything to anyone, not even my second side job. At Deloitte, I had to get an approval

Eh I can’t buy direct competitor stock (like we can’t buy Facebook or Apple), or a vendor’s stock if I know secret information (can’t buy Salesforce If I know Snap is about to sign a contract), otherwise I am free to trade whatever.

Oh that’s incredibly tough. What about ETFs? The big tech names are the bellwether of the SP500, and if you can’t buy ETF/ mutual fund, are you out there stock picking?

Incorrect - I cannot trade stocks either (MBB)

There are barriers and hoops to go through which my brief investigation tells me it’s not worth it

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
