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
