Does anyone know how easy it is to move from Corporate Finance in Big6 accounting firms to core IB? And how do levels compare? E.g. Corporate Finance Manager = what level at an IB ? This is from a London perspective!

I think it's fairly easy although London is a pretty competitive market. I would do some LinkedIn stalking to see what kind of jumps people are making

Whoever (unbelievably) doesn’t know what Big6 accounting firms could mean - I understand how complex it is to understand. Like who could ever think that it means the largest 6 accounting firms in the world? So lame I know. My bad. There can only be Big4 after all.

Appreciate your comments but why are people fixated on terminologies? It doesn’t even matter- all I’m trying to say is largest 6 firms in a simpler way. It’s not a legal document- it’s a freaking social media post

And national accounting firms could be more than 20 firms!

Who are these “big6” accountant firms you speak of?

Big4 + GT and BDO.
