How many hours a week does A&M tag seniors/managers work on average? I have seen it’s comparable to B4 but appreciate some insight.

Who was around in 2008/2009 at big 4? Specifically in advisory? How were those practices affected during the layoffs? Any insight to ease some of the worry/unknown would be greatly appreciated.

I’m a manager in PwC’s human capital practice. I’m getting recruiting messages from the other Big 4, as I imagine most of us are. I’m interested in hearing about human capital consultants who went from PwC to one of the other firms, as well as people who came from one of the other firms to PwC. Happily ever afters as welcome as horror stories here. Thanks!

has anyone had any luck leveraging an offer from another Big 4 to have your current firm match/transfer the new offer? specifically switching service lines

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

Choosing between industries for Big 4 Audit. Asset Management or Technology Media and Telecommunications to transition into TAS down the line for Major Metro Markets?

Comp question - what should a B4 Senior with a CPA, CFF, CFE, and a MBA with 4 years forensic exp (D&T) and 6+ years non-forensic exp (industry) in NYC and DC markets expect in this current climate?

How do people get interview call from Accenture Strategy & Consulting? I am an MBA from tier 2, 5 YoE post MBA in Financial Risk. Currently working with a Big 4.

For those in big 4, how much time between accepting an offer and start date have you been able to ask for? Is a month feasible/how should one phrase it? Two weeks just doesn’t feel like enough with this heavy burnout/having to wrap up deals at old firm

take job with long commute or stay at b4?

Is everyone excessively leaving at the Big 4 across the board or is it just PwC? Seems like everyone is leaving or searching.

I am financially secure (husband now has a high earning job) and looking at what options for "moon shots" at chances of real wealth generation with my years in Big 4 (10+). Month to month cash flow isn't a concern anymore so i can focus on opportunities for bigger pay days. Ideas from the hive mind?

What level and service line were you at the big 4, and what percent salary increase did you get once you left? I’m a S1>S2, and the offers I’m seeing are around 10%-15% higher, which feels a little low. But maybe I’m being unrealistic.

Is it recommended to get two full years of consulting experience before looking for a move elsewhere...for more comp (say to another Big 4, industry, attempt at MBB or FAANG)? Already have 8 yoe in the DoD space outside of consulting. And about 16 months of consulting exp

Hello to all b4 🐠 - what's your view on the cultural differences between b4 in Australia? Feel free to put down a ranking to your best knowledge, anecdotal or not. Thanks!

What's the new age scene like in Austin? Coming from Portland and I'm missing my fellow mystics.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

What can I do if I believe I’m being overcharged for utilities. I was charged prorated around 125 for 11 days for water and electricity (this is my share in a four bedroom apartment). I think this is crazy expensive for utilities for 11 days. I did just move to Austin, is it normal for utilities to be this high ?

Style experts, Allbirds: yay or nay? Let’s hear it.

I’m an internal consultant of a bank, a bit tired of the internal administration and bureaucracy. Just wondering if you have to deal with the same if you work in a consulting firm instead?

X moving retty sharply lower. Time for calls?

What is a typical exit opportunity for a Director in FDD? I’m over the stress, but I feel like the monotony of industry will equally stress me out. I have only done FDD my whole career so the PE exit route is likely not going to happen (I’m realistic 🙂)

M&A tax manager 1 salary in NYC ?

Lender Due Diligence thoughts compared to FDD and potential career path?

I understand A&M comp is primarily derived from the annual bonus based on collections/performance. However, given the significant increase in Big 4 FDD comp this year, are there any plans to raise the base salary for A&M? I have to pay rent every month not just annually 🤣

Any insights into the Kroll or CFGI FDD/TAS Manager interview process? Any comp expectations for NYC/HCOL M1?

Anyone in here moved from risk consulting (internal audit + external audit support) to FDD with the hopes of breaking into banking? Or have y’all seen it happen before? Would probably be a step down from a comp and wlb pov but it’s a means to an end..

What firms do higher variable comp? I’m familiar with A&M’s model, but curious if there are others. Figure if I’m busting it, might as well get compensated for it.

Been reading into CohnReznick. Anyone know the best way to go about landing a possible internship for next year? I currently have an FDD internship offer for a MM firm next year but I'm still exploring options. Coming off an audit internship at Big 4 this past summer. Thanks.

What’s the difference between FAAS and FDD? Also which one pay better?

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Why does everyone say the work in FDD is so much better than audit? I’ve been in the group for a few months now, and it seems to be just as bad if not worse.

How much do partners make in FDD compared to audit in HCOL ?

I work from home a majority of the time, is it ethical to bring the monitor they ordered for me home if I give it back when I quit (obviously)?

Valuations or FDD? Trying to decide which team has the best exit opportunities/WLB/interesting work.

What tax issues uncovered during tax DD can affect the FDD report?

How long do you think this M&A slowdown will last?
