Honestly, what do people who work at the big 4 think of RSM?

I think about RSM from the individual's perspective. We all eat shit during our respective busy seasons, similar office politic dynamics, and for the first 6-8 years, make the same amount of money. Ironically, it's usually staff/senior level folks who have the superiority complex, like they're still trying to win the race to mediocrity. Get over it. You'll be a senior accountant in a year, talking about your whopping three busy seasons like you survived Normandy on D-Day.

Respectable firm with pretty talented people that will likely work just as hard, if not harder, than big 4. Often second tier firms are the budget buy for clients that either don’t have to have big 4, can’t afford it, or just plainly don’t want to spend the money. Still a place where money can be made

TBH dude, I don't know if anyone actually thinks about other firms and if they do they're overly competitive assholes. Just run your own race.

Knowing people who have worked for Big 4 and RSM, they say the firm is a lot of the same except they just don't have the same resources or perks as Big 4. They brought in a lot of people from the Midwest in the Bay Area at the upper levels around here years ago.

like

I moved to Big 4 from another larger mid-tier firm and was stunned to learn how many people in Big 4 didn’t even know that my previous firm existed. I think most people know who RSM, GT, BDO, and CH are and think of them as competent just not in the same league. At the end of the day if it isn’t Big 4 it is looked at with less respect.

How is the career path in SAP Basis?
