For those who moved from MM to Big 4, what are some changes you experience on a day-to-day? Would there be a big learning curve or something major change? Hours? Work style?

I’m assuming there would be some changes in the quality of data asked to process but what are the changes did you see and what keeps you busy?

Idk. Am I an idiot to think I might have better WLB in Big 4 than my MM firm? I’ve been doing 55-60 hour weeks with a few 70s and 80s sprinkled in since April in MM. Want to move to B4 for better resources.

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.

I am currently in industry, but was a Senior in Accounting Advisory, and before that an audit associate. I’m thinking of trying DDV at PwC as I’ve always been interested in M&A integration, but am unsure on carry over of skills and also would like to go somewhere I can be bumped to Manager as I was almost there prior to leaving industry. I know they are on a hiring spree so would coming in as a Manager be possible? I’ve previously been on M&A audit/AAS engagements.
