Hi Fishes,

YoE : 9 yrs
CCTC : 22 LPA (including 10% variable)
Tech stack : Data analyst, Informatica, Alteryx, Power BI

Am I being underpaid with the stack & experience that I have? If so, what should be my ECTC, if I plan to make a move now? Worked with 2 "Big 4" consulting firms in past.

Thoughts on jumping from PwC consulting to Deloitte consulting? Lateral move (slightly early promo) and same pay but potential for better projects at D. What's the culture like at Deloitte vs PwC? I know Deloitte is known to be the most cut-throat out of the Big 4 but is it really that bad?

How does interview process look like when you join as an experienced hire to another big 4? It’s FDD group. Wish it’s quick so I can move on before busy season starts.

Current compensation is an issue. What kind of moves can I make within the firm to get a decent raise? I know I am worth more, but the only way to get there seems to be to go work for another B4.

Alright Fish Friends, can I please get your help? At a Big 4 with 10+ YoE in legal, operations, tech and want some thoughts on what kinds of roles and companies would be a good fit in industry. Catch is golden handcuffs here, which means I need TC at $300k or better to jump (sole breadwinner). Thoughts?

I have 1 YOE in strategy consulting at a Big 4, planning to apply for BA/AC roles at MBB. I’ve read they prefer you to list test scores on the application. I’ve never taken the GMAT, so is my ACT still ok to include even though it’s nearly a decade old? 99th percentile fwiw

Avp in Genpact , is it a good position ? Have not seen assistant vice president anywhere else in consulting but in banking. Wats the same in deloitte, or big 4.

Does anyone had preliminary assessment automated video call round with geekyants?? I wonder what is gona be there in call, never had such calls for interview b4. Position I applied - brand strategist

I accepted an offer at a b4 in October and have been waiting on my start date for after graduation. I was under the impression I would be starting in Aug based on the prior conversations I had with my recruiter. Today I found out I won’t be starting until Nov. what is the best path to take to try and get my start date moved up.

Has any moved from the Big 4 accounting firms to Law Firms? I’m so close to being partner but not sure I want to do compliance anymore. There not much consulting which I prefer to do. Pros and cons to making the switch?

Would anyone that received over 50% scholarship to their MBA programs mind sharing their stats? Prospective applicant taking GMAT soon. I’m an URM male with 3.7 GPA, 3 yoe in b4 consulting fwiw.

What's the typical average age of becoming a Partner at MBBs, T2s, big 4 start houses (EYP, S&..) and rest of big 4s?

I need advice , 2YOE big 4 audit . My dream job is forensic investigation /intelligence /litigation. Current location is USA and I will be moving to Canada next year fall. I don’t want to work in audit when I get there. This busy season has really stressed me out. Should I stick it out for this last year or get a job in forensic field now . I’m just lost , I don’t know if it will be better to have forensic experience before I move. Thanks

Our team was about to get a new manager but when an exec mentioned her name to the client, the client said she heard bad things about her and would prefer them not on the team. Anyone hear of that b4?

2 big 4’s within 2.5 years, and my girlfriend’s thinking about making her third jump. In her defense, she now knows what she wants after being in 2 different practices. Idk how I feel about this... 😦

Is there a way to tell what levels are at AWS? I was contacted about a Senior Practice Manager role? B4 equivalent?

Is a specialist at Mckinsey equivalent to a manager at a big 4?

Big 4 consulting has become increasingly saturated in the US and lost its differentiation. Generally speaking there are a lot of us and exit opports to Industry have watered down. Yay or nay? Explain.

Any work from home opportunities? 5 years of work exp in commercial sector and big 4 consulting

Has anyone recently got a big 4 offer and successfully negotiated starting base + bonus? The recruiter told me that no one is getting a sign-on bonus because of covid, but it may not be true based on a few recent posts I saw in this bowl. Appreciate if anyone can share some insight.
Also, does anyone know what the salary / recent offer is for an experienced M&A tax manager in HCOL (NYC/SF) vs. M/LCOL?

What's BDO Chicago like?

Raising risks (that are quickly being issues) without project leadership taking notice...feels like yelling 'ICEBURG' on a ship and nobody changing course...time to jump in a lifeboat?

Anyone have money management advice? I have a lot saved (no loans, got brother's old car, big CD from family that ends in a few months). I'm putting quite a bit into 401k with the remainder sent to a money market (supposedly high yield) account. It's an awesome problem to have, but I feel like I'm sitting on this money, doing nothing. I have no knowledge of stocks, but getting another CD seems wasteful.

Only big purchase planned is an eventual new car, which I can easily buy.

I feel like no one talks about mental health. Is anyone else feeling high levels of anxiety at work? How have others coped with anxiety, stress, and lack of sleep? How have others boosted their confidence in the workplace?
