With a firm growing by acquisitions it will vary by office. No one size fits all. Generally though regional firms won’t churn and burn their staff like the Big 4 because their pool of qualified applicants isn’t as deep. Like the Big 4 though larger markets will have higher demand for their spots and also larger client base so work more hours.
BDO isn’t a regional firm. They are probably the 5th or 6th largest in the world.
Each office is different. It’s something you should try to find out tactfully during the interview process.
i started at bdo about 4 months ago and so far it’s been awesome, doing 50 hour weeks
way better than ey so far
Update, I’ve accepted an offer at BDO Baltimore and will begin end of March.
It depends on whether you work in PCS or corporate tax, honestly. Corp (in my office) can’t get their stuff done on time. They work until 11:59 on deadline day when we’ve been at happy hour since 4. Part of that is we’ll increase our hours to 40 much earlier (in an effort to spread the work out more) but part of it is also you can only prepare the return after the audit has been done in Corp.
Rsm is hiring too in Baltimore tax! Might be worthwhile to check out other middle market firms in the area as well :) dm me if you have some questions!
Which group at BDO? I got a call from a BDO recruiter as well.
Tax in Maryland. I believe It’s both fed and state
