Hi , I got a verbal offer from one of the big 4 firms on the 30 th September where they said I was the preferred candidate.

I am yet to receive the formal contract and it is doing my head in. It is over 2 weeks and no word, does it normally take this long ?


Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Do other Big 4 have obscene levels of financial disclosure required for "independence?" I'm talking big brother type shit for Manager level and above.

Will we be blacklisted if we accept an offer and later decide to not join in big 4?

I’m a senior at KPMG interested in switching to another Big 4 firm and group. However, KPMG is currently paying for my masters which requires me to work an additional 3+ years at the firm in order for

Know this is a long shot, but if I’m counseled out of one MBB, what are the chances I could get an equivalent job at another? And if not another MBB, thinking that a T2 or B4 could be possible? I’m not even sure I want to stay in consulting, but also feel like I didn’t get a fair shot at it

Wanting to make the leap out of Big 4 as a senior 3 and am not really sure what type of compensation to expect to see. Any ideas on what’s being offered out in the market ?

Anyone jumped from B4 to another B4? Where did you go? What was your reasoning? Any regrets? How did the original B4 react?

While Indian consulting folks supporting the US folks do the bulk of the analysis, churning out the data and making the ppts, all the US folks do is attend meetings. Most of know basics of neither Alteryx, Power BI nor Tableau, while everyone in India is expected to know all the three. Most of the times we are expected to work till their afternoon (our Midnight)

(POV: MC in one of the Big 4)

PS: Also let me know if it's not the case in your BIG 4 company, I will gladly join it 😉

Best stepping stone to get into MBB? MBA vs experience at Big 4 / other second-tier consulting firms?

A week or so ago, someone shared a stacked bar chart of each MBB/Big 4 firm that highlighted the percentage of consultants that say they work 40, 50, 60 hours etc a week at each firm. I have searched endlessly to find that chart but haven’t had any luck. Not even on google. Does anyone know the chart I’m referring to?

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(
