If you're in an office that has a diverse client base, emphasize your experience across different industries. Use the differences of B4 vs CRZ to your advantage, and make sure they know you can handle much larger clients/data

Good call. If you’re gonna work Big 4 hours at this firm, might as well be employed by Big 4!

No way tax dude. I mean it’s a job people are going to get emotional because they have a lot emotions. But compared to when I worked at PwC, ey is a cake walk. Hours are just as long but nobody is shady or dishonest. I think the corporate culture is just better than the PwC. I don’t know about the others. I hear good things about some of the Deloitte offices but never heard anything good about PwC

I spent time at Deloitte before EY. I had offers from both but opted for Deloitte. Cultures are like night and day. I’d have left PA years ago if not for the change. Deloitte was going to slowly destroy me. To be fair, I’ve heard there are some pretty intense EY offices too. My office and practice just happen to be really laid back and Deloitte in my city is ruthless and intense.

When I interview people from smaller firms what I want to know is: (1) that you understand how to run a business - metrics, margins, etc, (2) that you can effectively communicate and/or manage a large team, (3) that you’ve dealt with technical complexities. I will ask for specific examples of all of the above to get comfortable.

Also apply to PwC. Compare the offers. Let me know if you need a referral. There are open positions in real estate tax across all levels. Just referred someone in recently.

Avoid anything FSO. But, why do you want to be in EY? 🤔 with your cohnReznick experience, you can think about going to a hedge fund or private equity - you’ll easily make 3x your salary at EY

Why not FSO? Just curious

How bad is CR? I see all these people on here replying to other comments like they are in favor of moving to big 4.

Baltimore is good - plenty of industries to work in. Most people here go above and beyond to help move people to the next level. There are some managers here though that they can care less about seeing people grow and do the bare minimum.

Make sure to go in detail on some work you have done. Don’t just give a blanket answer, add some depth.

like

Good luck in your interview - you must have a great deal of experience at CR so use that as your selling point. I know at CR you get exposure to those low end clients which = you figuring out their books.
Like someone said about EY, they need people especially on tax side. They lost couple people in the tax manager level so that’s another advantage for you.

likehelpful

From my experience I can tell you that culturally CR is very very bad, this is from my experience in LA. It’s disappointing.

like

its mostly going to be behavioral to see whether you can fit in with the team. They will ask about your past experience, issues, challenges you have faced etc. Just be cool and be yourself.
