How does one “break into tech” from Big 4 audit? Purely curious what kind of role it would be because I hear most people that can work anywhere in the globe work for tech companies. Thanks!

Ew! They don’t need accountants? Like internal audit or something?

Tech consulting. If you're not having luck breaking into large firms, try the small, niche ones.

Financial accountant, fp&a/other analyst roles. You’ll need some experience before you’ll be considered for the big tech companies though.

Well my friend went from audit manager to project manager at amazon. So anything is possible.

Oh dang. Very cool

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
