Hi all, currently work in Assurance at a Big 4, just under 2 years with a year recruitment experience beforehand. Have a Masters degree in Business and Finance. Currently in the middle set of exams but realised Audit isn’t for me, would like to move to consulting. Looking at MBB Consultancy positions, any advice on the move in terms of entry level and how my experience could help my application?

Try move across to the strat arm of your big 4 before transition could be an alternative route? Otherwise I guess things like your awareness of the balance sheet and finance operations will put you in a good position.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
