Hi ,

I have 4.6 yoE with an MBA
I am offered 15L fixed in Accenture global strategy and consulting ACN which is very less considering I come from big 4 where I will be missing out my bonus if I join Accenture now.
Also they are offering level 11 (analyst)- Is is not correct to ask for Consultant designation ?

Hey folks, I am interested in sustainability and the entire finance aspect of it. However my exp in th area is woefully inadequate. I'm trying to read up. Currently in the finance transformation team at EY (not related at all to sustainability). And no background studies wise.
Is there any chance B4 hire ppl who are interested. Have been with the firm 5 years, but haven't asked yet if they can internally move me.

Which Big 4 is “best” for digital consulting for asset & wealth management clients?

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

Got an offer from pwc in the data privacy role.
With 13.5 Lpa currently i’m at 12 and made switch on march.
Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

Is it worth making the time/money investment to make the switch from big 4 FDD to MBB. This would require getting into and paying for a top MBA program and my net worth would be way negative after that. Are the MBB financial returns worth it? Im 26 years old for reference

Best books to study for case-study interviews? Or methods people have used? Coming from the consulting industry already but not a pure strategy role so need to catch up to speed fast

An advice on how to approach the application and how to land an interview with an MBB firm? I am at Accenture but want to engage myself in “pure” strategy work.

I JUST LANDED A PHONE INTERVIEW WITH GOOGLE!!! can I get some google phone interview tips, advice, etc.? (Forever grateful) 🙏🏾

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

For next 5 years I worked mostly on application development and broadening my exposure. I am not getting even a single call from such companies now.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

How does a panel interview feel like? Is there anything that I should be prepare for it? Any tips?

Hi fishes, pls help-
1. How’s the WLB at EXL (Inductis, analytics)
2. There’s no JD provided, so unclear work structure. Also, have heard mixed feedback about the projects/learning curve. And so, extremely unsure whether to join.. any thoughts?

What do firms actually look at when evaluating people for partnership? I feel like the majority of partners in my section lack organization, leadership ability, management skills, or even good client management skills. It seems more like they were just the ones that stuck around and kept billing a ton. Is this the norm?

Hi Partners! Can you share some tips and ideas on closing in on total greenfield hunting opportunities? What have been some of the drivers of your successes in getting deals/projects at a client org where don’t have the luxury of introductions. Also, how did you master this (art) over the years?

FAANG (or MANGA) companies seem to be the holy grail for lots of people exiting BIG4 or even banking/consulting types looking for finance analyst type roles in industry.

Anecdotally, the pay & culture seems good at those companies, but are there significant cons to "finance analyst" type roles in those orgs which would deter you from working from them? (I.e work hours, progression etc?)

I am sooo done right now. It’s not the workload, it’s not the hours,it’s not the crazy clients without controls nor processes...[I love audit (yes, I am a nerd and yes, I have a life outside)] (cont)

For those who moved from a client serving role to an internal role in public accounting while at a fairly high level (experienced manager or senior manager), did you take a pay cut or does your pay stay flat when you transition with minimal increases in subsequent years? Also what role are you in now? I really like EY and the company. I’d like to look at moving to an internal role but I’m worried I’ve priced myself out (currently at around 140k comp in LCOL).

KPMG’s 401k plan allows after-tax contribution and in-plan Roth conversions. What about Deloitte, EY, and PWC?

EY raises and PBB so far have been in line with past few years. So much for the “this time it’s different” hype. Time to jump ships and get additional 15-20% raise

Considering obtaining a CFE certification. Can anyone share their experience vs experience obtaining CPA? I’m already a CPA. I just want a comparison of study time requirement and difficulty of exam.

I just got hired. Wondering what is the starting salary for Audit. Fresh grad with no experience.

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?

Beyoncé - too much for me.
