💡 Excellent discussion about responding to commentary around “lowering the bar for diverse consulting candidates” from colleagues… definitely relatable if you are in MBB or Big 4 and you are Black…happening in the Black Consultants Strategies and Tactics bowl.

Prepared for two month while working. Failed two MBB final rounds. Thinking about reapplying next year. How should I prepare myself for that in this one year?

Tax senior with CPA at small firm. Best way to get to Big 4 audit? (LA or OC) Went to non-target so little to no alumni at B4. I don’t mind the switch to a lower title since audit was always my preference and was never a fan of tax (stayed local for family).

Has anyone ever sued Big 4 for unfair firing?

Anyone else with big 4 experience looking to find a rewarding career path with an undergrad degree in accounting? What career options are out there without having to go back to school?

Hello Fishes,
I received a call for interview from Deloitte. However I don't have all the skills/exposure mentioned in JD. Has anyone cleared an interview with similar scenario in big 4?

What level should I apply to if I’m a manager at B4? Considering applying

I’m a senior in advisory at a B4 firm. I’m aiming for partner, but secretly would like to be part of firm leadership. Is there anything I should do differently on my way up the ladder?

I'm about to graduate from uni and have sadly just realised that the creative industries I like aren't going to pay enough, so I want to get into consulting. Ideally in areas like marketing/branding/digital rather than MBB

I have no consulting experience and I have accepted an internship offer at an advertising firm for this summer. What steps would you advise me to take to get into consulting? Also, I get to pick between strategy and accounts for the internship - would either be more useful?

Does anyone else worry about their big 4 career for not being the most apt at small talk. I'm worried I'm not the most memorable member of my team for my clients and what it would mean going forward.

Currently on my h1b visa which is expiring in 2021, but then it can be renewed/extended for another 3 years. When does company like Big 4 start the green card process?

How do you motivate yourself to stay in public accounting (B4)?

Are consultants at MBB allowed to trade individual stocks? Or are they limited to mutual funds only? For example, can someone at McKinsey buy AAPL?

looking for referral to b4 consulting firms. recently let go from deloitte as part of current headcount reductions. any assistance is appreciated. please DM me, thanks

Anyone know much about Simon-Kucher? I have an offer for SC there for $125k base with all-in TC for the year expected $165-175k. Currently a CO with 3-4 YOE, and considering making the move. I think CO at my firm is the equivalent to SC at B4

Making about $103k base now, so not sure if I should hold out for better

I’m struggling to find industry senior accounting roles that are offering much above 100K in the NYC market. Currently a S2 in audit in the B4, has this just been the norm recently or am I not looking for the right opportunities?

Anyone have an hourly rate range for an MBB Engagement Manager (yoe 5yrs consulting and 8yrs corp finance)?

Has anyone moved from tech consulting to strategy in MBB's. Anyone willing to guide on how you made the move?

Is it worth moving to strategy consulting or do strategy business ops in industry?

Differences in FDD at accounting firms (big 4, rsm, GT, etc) vs non-accounting firms (HL, A&M, FTI)?

B4 layoffs from beginning of pandemic - low performers or last in first out? Wondering for recruiting purposes.

I hate ketchup but somehow that Heinz ad is my favorite so far.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I’m starting to move up in my career and getting to that point where Account leads need to meet you during the interview process. Do you have any go-to questions you ask to get a feel for the account? I’ve learned what questions to ask for creative. But could use some guidance with this. It feels like they’d be more brand/business focused, no?
