Maybe if there’s an opening in the office and group you want to transfer to. But, I’d think you’d have better luck making manager at BDO and then lateraling to B4 as Manager.

You probably need to have manager experience before you can lateral to Big Four, and probably not easy, you would need to prove yourself.

It should take the same amount of years to take manager whether in big four and middle market firm.

Happy to connect. What level and location are you at?

I’ve heard hitting manager in bdo takes about 7 years or in big four it’s around 5 years

You’re gonna have to go down a step if you go middle market to B4. If you don’t wanna do that, try harder to get into B4 now.

Wait BDO is middle market? I thought they were top 8

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
