If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

So Sanofi is setting up an analytics center in Hyderabad and seems to be recruiting quiet aggressively. I am negotiating on an offer but it quite low compared to industry standards. Does anybody have any idea how it is? They seems to have barely anything set up as of now. Sanofi Eli Lilly and Company ZS Associates

BCG Platinion is not same as BCG. Just like how everyone other than software engineers are second class citizens at FAANG, similarly is the case for non-strategy consultants at BCG.
faang attracts me because of their engineering excellence. I can make a case for product owners, user experience, and test engineers being first class in a company like this. Maybe even business development (partnerships, alliances etc). Sales team (which is not business development) is just an annoyance to deal with along the way when already considering them to begin with.
Are you really even considering not accepting it lol. Go celebrate
I joined BCG Platinion few months back and I had a good client facing experience without having to feel like a second class citizen till now. The perks are great (equal to what anyone at BCG gets) and I have seen some really good exits from here in industry as well as in FAANG. So you can make up your own mind now. I am sticking around for few more years because I like the culture and I have a way better work life balance than my peers in core BCG and in the big 4.
PLA 1: I guess I have been lucky till now 😀, and I hope that this streak continues
Literally every project is client facing. Client facing work is the only work Platinion does. And no, you are not always behind a classic PL. I personally worked with 3 C-levels this week and I'm only a level 2.
I have issues with Platinion, but this isn't one of them.

Very, very little client facing time. Can be a good move for those who are more technical and struggle to move up in Big4 because they can’t grow client relationships. If you want to be a client facing consultant, you may find yourself getting frustrated. What’s your current alignment and how do you want to grow - technical expert sitting without all the hassle of managing teams and clients (great for Platinion) or client facing consultant with management responsibilities (not so good)?
As HoA1 said, you’ll also have to deal with being made to feel that you are second class
Got it thanks!
I’m in Accenture security and I was discussing with a friend at BCG about making the move to Paltinion. I’d be coming in at mid-level (manager @ ACN) Would love some insights, OP.
