Do the big 4 look down upon you if you interview with them after you get laid off?

Has anyone interviewed at Secretariat?

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

Rejected by google. Very depressed as was hoping to escape big4 consulting esp with all these h1b crap going on. Unsure of next move- hate going again on the interview treadmill which is depressing

Last year when Covid broke, I received a couple of interview calls but ignored them as I felt the organization kept me at work when other companies cut short their HR staff so I should be with them even if with no appraisal.
