Does Big 4 (maybe except Deloitte) have a bad image out there? My friends in industry get interviews from MBB/FANG (A as in Apple)/unicorns pretty easily but I never get interviewed from those after many tries. My colleagues exit are pretty average too, mostly our clients or similar

No, it’s more about relevant experience and personal skillset.

What do you do and are you any good?

I know plenty of people who ended up in FANG. Not as many in MBB but that’s because b4 strategy is not tier1.

This country is pretty big, no?

Yes, B4 has a weaker resume brand strength vs the firms in our industry that are much much more selective in hiring

Our brand strengths are better than most other companies, but unquestionably weaker than MBB overall

Do you get interviews elsewhere? If not, you probably want to work on your resume.

This sounds like personal issue not an assessment of an entire set of global brands.

Plenty of FAANG opportunities for B4 consultants.

Switching to MBB is obviously hard but pretty standard to go B4 -> T10 MBA -> MBB if that's your desire.

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

I got an automated mail today saying:
"Any refusal to accept available assignments offered by WFM Manager or to participate in interviews will be viewed as failure to comply with instructions of management & will attract disciplinary action."
Will I be forced to resign if I do not join a random project?

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
