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.

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
