Hi can someone provide some insight on the positives of working at a big 4 firm. I have the opportunity to come in with a little higher salary than my current job. Just wanted to see what y’all thought.

Great on your resume when you exit. And you will want to exit.
That’s the main upside for me. Also working with smart impressive (overworked) people and good benefits (unless you break your salary down to hourly, then not so good.)

Some people thrive in that environment, was not a big fan, I didn’t drink the kool aid and didn’t fit in.

great response.

I know the role I am starting as isn’t the ideal role I was hoping for. Do you have any advice? Any insight on how how easy it is to transfer roles?

It’s been a net positive experience for me. The brand is solid and you’ll get exposure to different industries/companies. Don’t expect to learn much by way of depth on any particular topic. Pay is objectively good if you’re not out of touch with reality.

Don’t expect to spend my career here but it provides credibility and trajectory for future success.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
