Got the following offers on the table:

1. Big 4 - Manager, $180k + $20k sign on, told a good expectation is 12-15% bonus next year. 1.5% 401k match and 3% pension contribution. First year cash would be around $225k
2. New, well funded advisory arm of an established business - Engagement manager, $210k, 20-25% bonus. 2.5% 401k match. First year cash closer to $250k

Big 4 is a defined path with history, reputation, and exits. Other place is largely unknown but a lot of comp.

What do you think?

I am a M2 at B4 FDD and don’t know how long i’ll be genuinely interested in this work. Currently debating rotating into a B4 IB associate role for a year or two, then moving to PE. Is this a reasonable move? I know IB lifestyle will suck, but I don’t want to find myself in a spot where I dislike what I do in a few years and feel like moving to IB may increase my chances of landing a better gig in the future ( as opposed to sticking to FDD)

I haven’t really been enjoying being an industry accountant. After 4 years in B4 audit and 1.5 in industry I’m really starting to think about going back to maybe a GT, RSM, or BDO type firm

Hey all. I have an interview with an investment bank coming up. I am currently a senior associate at big 4 doing financial due diligence. Can anyone give me interviews tips/what to study? I am very new to the diligence (less than 3 months), so am far from understanding a deal start to finish.

Applied for a B4 senior forensic role, but was not even granted an interview after my initial phone screen with HR; I’m confused why because i thought they needed bodies. My background includes 4 years of forensic experience on multiple investigations and program oversights, 5 years in other professional, non-forensic roles, and i have both a CFE and a CPA under my belt. The phone screen was basically HR asking if i have used google suite and tableau

Apologies as I’m sure this has been covered but hard to search for specifics on here. Currently have a M1 in Deals/Transaction Advisory (not strategy) in a tier 2 city (not NY, Chicago, or Bay Area/LA) at around $105-110k with typical bonus of 8-10%. If they were to jump ship to another big 4 or smaller firm, any idea what comp could be expected?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.
