Folks recently joined P in the tech consulting practice. One one of the calls I realized that we are not really selling solutions but mostly staff aug for clients. Is that really how P does business? Coming in from big 4 this was a surprise to me. Given that most D and MDs are homegrown, probably used to this way of business, however we are not selling solutions is a concern in my opinion. Thoughts?

Does anyone have experience/knowledge regarding whether the different B4 deal analytics teams 1) work remote 2) still travel? Looking to potentially make a switch but have heard different things across the board, including seeing that most of the job postings for senior roles in these groups are tagged to offices and don’t say remote.

Can anyone offer insight into the annualized equivalent compensation of contract consulting gigs in B4 vs the equivalent FT positions?

Looking at post-MBA level finance advisory role if that helps.

I have a FT role currently that I would be skeptical about leaving for contract work, but I know that contract work tends to pay a little more so just wanted to see if it's enough to consider.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice with regards to my next career step. Currently in audit and I have opportunities to go for a Valuations role or an FDD role (both big 4). What are the pros and cons of each? (hours and learning opps, not concerned about salary) Not looking to work long term in both and would likely want to transition into an FP&A role in the future. Hoping to jump directly but require modelling experience.

Hello to all b4 🐠 - what's your view on the cultural differences between b4 in Australia? Feel free to put down a ranking to your best knowledge, anecdotal or not. Thanks!

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

I am currently working as Data Scientist with Big 4 and have consulted brands present in Top Brands.
Ping me directly if in case you have any requirements.

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response. Is this white flag territory or is there still hope? And if it’s the ladder is there anything I can do to speed up the process or is it just a waiting game.

2 years experienced Salesforce Developer.
Working with Big 4.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking to build a career within the ESG consulting and strategy space. I am in a career transition phase and have a tax consultancy background from a Big 4 for 5+ years. However, I believe I have gained some skills that are transferable to ace at ESG consulting as well. While I am still in the process of upskilling myself and gaining the required knowledge, could you help me with referring my CV or with some leads? 

What’s the best way to pivot into data analytics role from accounting/reporting background?

Patient experience consultants? Are your here?

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure). Can’t stop thinking of reaching out and need strength to just stay with the loneliness and have hope for the better times. Would appreciate support. It’s been 2 weeks but I feel bouts of extreme sadness and desire to have someone to share my life and days with.

Was there any affect on your project due to Melbourne shutdown..........I see another potential lay-offs wave coming for Deloitte😬

Typical Protiviti Director salary at a medium col city???

Where the PROs at? What other bowls are you all in? I will go first: consulting bowl and consulting memes.

Folks which insurance do you recommend? Cigna or Anthem. I have two little ones and looking at the $1500 deductible plan. Appreciate any feedback.

Why can’t I find the main Pro bowl anymore. I was in it for almost a year and now it’s gone. Is it possible to get kicked out?..

Hi folks - Would appreciate is someone can provide the range for AD salary. Was reached out by recruiter and don’t want to waste my or their time if numbers don’t align. Thanks.

What is a MD compensation package & breakdown like @ Pro?

Is there another bowl for Pro that is more active ? Feel like I am missing something

For the Protiviti fishes, were you onsight before Covid? I keep seeing jobs that say the roles with Protiviti are hybrid. Do you think the company will eventually move away from remote? A recruiter reached out to me but couldn't answer my question about remote now or in the near future. It was very vague.

Any thoughts on what the 'full' transition to hybrid will look like? Do you think showing up in-person to the office would be required even if the client isn't requesting it? I'm planning on staying WFH for as long and as much as possible and getting concerned about some of the emails we've been getting about the future of hybrid work at PRO.

Would love to understand the culture at Protiviti. I have seen all types of feedback on glassdoor from really good to horrible and read alot about micromanaging at the leadership level. Do people like it there and happy with the company?

In the early stages of the interview process. Was told there wouldn’t be a case interview, but a technical interview instead. What should I expect?

Could someone who is in the room on talent day please explain the process? Our are names just put on a slide show with your snapshot scores, chargeability, firm wide contributions, and years of experience then MDs just give the green light or not? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

What is compensation for Manager level, non-billable based in the midwest? How much do they give for sign-on?

Hey Protiviti and friends of Protiviti. New hire MD here and excited to partner with you all. Let’s get this site more active. I genuinely appreciate the good / bad / ugly we get here. What’s your current view on your career and why?

Sigh. Whats the point of having a bowl if no one uses it....leaving.

Currently applying to Protiviti. How much better are chances of getting a interview with a referral?

If it's a lot better, would someone be open to letting me put their name down on my application?
