Can’t speak to B4 but I grew up as an expat and did a few years in China. Dad worked for an F500. They paid for housing, electric/utilities, and gave us a food allowance. Provided a driver too since we could not get driver licenses. Paid for one round trip plane ticket to and from China each year. Also covered kids going to international school.

Lots of other expat families had very similar packages so I’d imagine B4 would do something along the same lines.

If the move is strategic for the firm ie they need you there/ask you to go then I’ve heard the packages are much better than you choosing to go

Yup. Big difference in whether the firm asks you to go, or just lets you go do a rotation.

Housing allowance, COLA allowance, loss on sale of vehicle, one biz class flight per year, language lessons, spousal allowance, school for kids, no car/driver

I had a friend whose family was an expat in Singapore 10-15 yrs ago and they got a driver and nanny lol

Grew up in an expat family to Singapore in the late 90s. We got housing, private school, membership to a social club and a vehicle allowance. Idk the total splits, but my dad has told me that every expat cost the company between $500-750k. I’ve heard big 4 is less generous, and for secondees I know you are essentially sent over to work as an employee of that regions network firm. A director of mine told me when he first saw his UK salary he “thought it was a mistake”

How do “they” deal with a mortgage?

Got an offer from a big 4. Senior, M&A tax, 4YOE, CPA. 95k & 5k bonus. Atlanta, LCOL (supposedly 🙄). Is this a fair offer? I feel like this is low but don’t know how high to go. How much should I be asking for? TIA

Hey friends! So I left PwC (risk assurance, did a bit of consulting) about 4 years ago for industry, and have been working in supply chain ever since for a major retailer. Recently, a recruiter from Protiviti reached out to talk to me about open roles in supply chain consulting, and I’m trying to decide if this would be a good move or not. I know it wouldn’t be quite the same as the hours as big 4, but I don’t know enough to be sure if it’s the right fit. Any advice?

Hello, I am a Linux system engineer and have been working in Oracle engineered systems from past 10 years. I got some exposure to oracle cloud but it is so difficult to get more exposure in oracle projects to build knowledge and my experience. In the Job portals , its so rare recruiters asking for oracle cloud. Looks like canada do not have much oracle projects. Hence I learned AWS. Want to make use of my knowledge but how?B4 Advisory teams do not have good oracle practice. Agree?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
