Big 4 is the professional equivalent of a Pyramid Scheme. I have known plenty of smart and talented people who never worked in Big 4 that have grown through large company Financial Leadership Programs to become leaders of their organizations. Imagine a world where the organization wants you to succeed, invests in your development, and you are viewed at one of the “chosen ones” vs. the Lord of the Flies mentality of Big 4. Do you work your ass off? Yeah. However, it’s a completely different paradigm.
