Hello Everyone,

I have 2 outstanding offers from EY and KPMG in the Finance Transformation group. Does anyone have any insight on the WLB right now, with the labor shortage and pipeline being crazy?

Also,does anyone have any insight to how difficult the transition will be from being a manager at a middle market firm into a manager at the B4? If someone else has done the transition how long did it take to get your feet under you?

I went from a really small firm to big 4, so not exactly the same, but probably a bit more rocky than what you’re looking at. The partner didn’t expect me to produce anything of any quality for the first 6 months which was more than enough time to acclimate to the processes and service line. If you’re willing to put in long hours up front to get up to speed and are a quick learner you should be fine. They look at attitude , eagerness, and hardwork as well as competence
