Has anyone gone from boutique to big four? What was the transition like?

Hi everyone, I have a year of experience working at a fortune 500 company as a financial analyst. I have been trying to transition into consulting for the last few months. There is nothing wrong with my current job, I just very much would like to be in the consulting industry. If there is anyone in the Big 4 currently looking to bring someone on in the Atlanta area please contact me. I work well in data analytics, and financial statements! Thank you Fishbowl community.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

Hi All,

How is EY’s SAP practice? Overall, so they focus more on new implementations (S/4) or auditing existing ones? How is the overall company focus on growing the SAP practice?

Any SAP EWM fish in here? I am new to SAP and just finishing my first project in EWM. Would like to continue building Expertise in this Module.
I am therefore looking for advice on how to go about this?
Which areas within EWM to focus on or start with to build a good foundation.
I have not had formal training so just learning on the HUB and by doing as I go.
But I feel like I need to focus on one area. I cannot decide how/ what though.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you.
