Big 4 brings all of the info you need. They all have comparable reputations and and difference is really immaterial, anyone who says otherwise works at one of the ones they are saying is more reputable.

Biggest differentiator is culture and people, that varies by OFFICE not by firm get to know all the people from each office you’re looking to work in and make the decision based off of that.

Salary should be comparable and differences should be expected to be based off of need of that office and you should expect the more money the more short staffed currently. Just good for thought

I did the opposite route for PwC to EY and found the same thing… the issue is the more busy you are the less visibility you have to trainings and trying out new things….

Really depends on the office and what those partners care about and push…

What PTO can be better than "unlimited"...:)

Agreed with the last paragraph. Took lower offer and wouldn’t match by $5k on base due to the fact that office was a sweat shop/struggling at the moment

I didn’t think the $5k was worth It. I didn’t like the people as much either and Deloitte has better PTO than EY/KPMg that I valued at $5k

Campus hire in their Deal Rotation. Biggest differentiator for me was being able to rotate between FDD and Strategy. Being staffed on CDD and ODD projects was pretty rad.

Otherwise I think it depends on culture and the people you like the most. I don’t think there’s really anything different between FDD shops. M&A activity has been crazy and we’ve been turning down deals. I’m sure it’s the same for other B4s

If you want to stay long term, another way to check if culture is good is to go on LinkedIn and see how long people stay at the firm of your location. High turnover (people leave within 1-2 yrs) is not where you wanna be.

Not sure where KPMG and EY rank, but I know Deloitte pays their FDD group better. Speaking of, what's the Deloitte FDD group called?

Oh, fascinating.

Hello
I was hired by a SaaS company for 95,000 Fr as a Senior Full Stack Developer. I have 9 years of experience and I worked in multiple startups and technologies. I also have relatively better experience in NodeJS, React, SQL, Elasticsearch.
I wouldn't say I am great at solving coding challenges but I believe with some practice I can get better.
Do you think I can get a better salary with my situation? (Swiss Wage calculator estimates 8500+ Fr. per month for Zurich area).

Is it possible to land a financial analyst position with only 6 months of experience in audit? I tried to stick it out w/ B4 but I don’t think I can do it anymore. I’m interested in duties like budgeting/forecasting, but haven’t come across very many entry level positions. I’m mostly seeing entry level jobs that are called “financial analyst” but include duties like JE/reconciliations. I don’t have SQL/Tableau experience either... so not sure if I just need more experience in a diff role first?
