Has anyone been successful in striking out on their own? I'm thinking of leaving the Big 4 rat race and becoming an independent contractor, just not sure where to begin.

Hi fishes,
I just got an offer from a startup in India putting my total comp to 40LPA(incl. vested stocks work 8kUSD and I also have an offer from a big 4 in the London for 65250GBP + benefits.

Any thoughts on comparing the two options?

H1b big 4 folks. What database are you using to check if we will make it for H1B new wage level application?

Do you know what today is, today is the day I am now allowed back to office as our vaccination requirement was dropped? I still can’t go to our office in NYC and possibly some other jurisdictions and we do need to follow client rules to visit them.
Have any of other Big 4 made changes?

Has anyone ever negotiated/been offered a signing bonus and/or relocation bonus with the Big 4?

Time taken to become a partner in any of Big 4's?

As per my knowledge in EY it is 15 to 20 YOE

What are some consulting companies in NY that do UX design? I know all the Big 4 & Accenture have acquired agencies, are there any smaller consulting firms that do it?

How many of you were direct admits to Partnership? From other consulting firms, or from industry? Was it a lateral move, or a step up/down?

The reason I ask is: I’m a Y3 Director at Big 4, always been a consultant and probably 2 years away from Partner. I have an offer from industry for VP at a F50 company, but am wondering about how difficult it’d be to boomerang back if it doesn’t work out.

TIA

Hi Fishes
I am looking for a SAP FSCM or SAP FICO position with any product based or Big 4 company.
I have 7.5 years of experience in the same domain. If anyone has any leads, please share.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone recently hired at Big 4 - are there still signing bonuses and referral bonuses? If so, what firm and how much?

Big 4 vs International Law firms - discuss….

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Has anyone ever been a contractor for any of the big 4? Just curious what the experience was like. I'm looking for more flexibility so was looking at this option.

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

Should I move back to audit as manager?

I left one of the B4 as an S1 and joined another B4 an S2 in consulting. I have an opportunity to move back as an audit manager which would be an early promotion by over a year.

Would this move make sense if partner was a potential end goal?

Note: I don’t hate audit and could do it.

Anyone else with big 4 experience looking to find a rewarding career path with an undergrad degree in accounting? What career options are out there without having to go back to school?

Thoughts on leaving B4 for a boutique/small local accounting advisory firm? Currently a senior in accounting advisory, so I would be leaving for the same service line. Smaller firm is offering higher base comp and bonuses

How difficult is it to move between Big 4 M&A Deals Practices (i.e. PwC->EY, KPMG->Deloitte etc.) and when is the best time—financially and otherwise—to make a move post MBA?

Hi Friend,

Could you please let me know about vacancies for Consultant or Senior Consultant position in a Management Consulting firm?

I have 2.5 YOE post MBA in Power and Utilities in a Big 4 company.

Thanks for your time.

Any 30+ female around? Would love to chat.

Thank you.

Hey folks,

I have my phone screening interview coming up soon for an L6 Senior applied scientist position for Tax classification team. I was wondering if any if you can provide any sort of help on how to prepare better for this interview. It's a pretty big deal for me, and I really want to Ace that interview.

How does search work at McKinsey? If it’s up to x weeks paid to find a job, how will they know if I’ve already accepted an offer? I’m trying to strategically declare search so I can have a backup offer and use my time to find something better, but I want to make sure that I don’t get in trouble lol. It’s also difficult to multitask finding a job and working on studies since you’re around the clock.

If you’re doing a final chat with the hiring manager (director level) before accepting an offer, what are some good things to ask?

Do you have to give two weeks notice that you're leaving? Don't want to burn bridges, but I'm ready to go now haha.

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

How’s your day going? Ghosted by both recruiter and HM. Why can’t people behave in a decent manner smh 😢

I want to get a job at BCG. Any recommendations on how to accomplish or anyone I can have a conversation with to understand the process?

I’ve been wondering this but has anyone had any long term health effects from consulting? I think with all the long hours, stress, and everything else that comes with it that it is likely to have physical and mental health effects.

Does studying for top consulting firms’ case interviews help in any way for interviews with other firms (e.g., FAANG case interviews) ?

Should I accept an offer from a preseries A startup in this current climate? Concerned it may fail…

anyone worked for NMG Consulting willing to share insights on the type of work performed? not a lot of material online and it seems like it’s more actuarial/financial risk consulting

Is it a bad sign if the company that typically moves fast (as said by former interviewees) is taking a long time to tell you whether or not you move forward to the next round in an interview?

I’m a first year analyst in RFA with deloitte and have really hated my experience so far. Both my projects have been a lot longer than they stated and I have learned 0 skills from either of them. I’m really just doing the same task every day and I feel like my undergrad degree is going to waste. I have a couple interviews in an MBB role and a Tier 2 tech but I also want to keep applying to other companies just in case. Does anyone know companies that are in a hiring frenzy right now?

FAANG product manager or stay at MBB (EM about 9mo away from AP; 8YOE w/ MBA)?

MIT undergrad that got an admission into Sloan for MBA. Does it make any sense to go back to the same school? I really enjoyed my time there but can see how it’d look stupid to have an undergrad degree and MBA from the same place

Can someone refer me to Mastercard Data and Services? Thank you

Hi all, looking at exit paths, 3 years post MBA at MBB, would love some advice! Leaving aside company & comp, curious to get thoughts on roles & career paths.

What do you think of Operations (think run the core of the business) vs. Bizops?

I'm leaning Bizops since it's more similar to consulting and may be a smoother transition, but what's the career path there, if you already enter at a Director level? Would Operations position me better for future roles and complement my consulting exp?

Anyone know anything about the global supply manager program at apple?

Wife is a teacher looking to make a career transition. Has anyone seen any teachers leaving to do anything interesting?

Hi ZS Associates consultants, why do most people at ZS stay long at the firm? What are the exit options?
