Asking because I don't know much about it and have received recruiter's call today. Currently I am working in Deloitte. How is thoughtworks hikes, wlb, does it provide any benefits apart from fixed pay?

Hi all,
I’m looking to relocate to Seattle. Does anyone know if any of the Big 4 are still recruiting campus hires to start in Summer/Fall 2023? I’m open to either Audit or Tax, but I have internship experience in Tax.
I applied and received an offer at a Big 4 in San Francisco (campus hire), but I’ve decided Seattle is the better fit for me as it will be closer to my hometown and family in Vancouver.
Thanks!

Went the opposite direction… you will be shocked at the quality of your team (think C+ players), lack of tools/reports/data/methodology, and sales process (hunt for everything, nothing comes to you because there is no brand value).
However, faster advancement, more entrepreneurial, less aholes.
Worse quality (but it depends, coming from Big 4 - sometimes Big 4 has bad quality because the Managers offshore/use AI and don’t QA properly), better work/life balance, and nicer people. Less a-holes. Moved to mid-tier from Big 4 and no regrets. My mental health is way better. People don’t sweat the small things as much.

I just left as Sr. Director at Ankura and I’ll never go to a lower tier firm like that again. The people are nice but the quality of output is really low, and the clients you attract are the ones looking for a deal. More politics in my experience. I did Big4 > Ankura > back to Big4. I might try to pivot to A&M or something that has that entrepreneurial spirit without sacrificing quality. I also found it harder to find a job with the Ankura badge on my resume. I think it was overall dilutive to my career. YMMV.
Happy to share perspective, feel free to message me.
One key difference at the Director level is that mid-tier firms often expect you to do a bit of everything. Delivery, client relationships, proposals and contracting, staffing, coaching teams, and sometimes even billing. There’s also more involvement in building offerings and internal initiatives. Big 4 usually has more specialized support, so there can be less of that admin work on your plate.
