Hey fishes! Need some guidance here, currently working at a top 10 firm, I like the IT audit work, I enjoy my team, but I’m feeling like this will be my last busy season here as I want to try some place different + get better pay. My main question is… should I go for a big 4 for 1-2 years to gain that experience in my resume and then jump to industry or should I jump to industry directly? TIA

I suggest to go to Big4 first

If you like the work then big 4 would look nice on the resume. You might even end up liking big 4 and want to stay. If you hate it though, only a 1-2 year stint is pretty doable

That's a good point too, could easily get your foot in the door and then pivot to something else down the line

Get B4 on the resume for a fee years then leave. It's not worth it unless you want partner
