I worked at pwc for 1 year after college before switching to a mid size firm. As I’m looking for job opportunities now, that one year of big4 experience from 7 years ago sticks out to employers I’m getting opportunities I wouldn’t have without the big 4 experience
I think it's gonna depend on who you ask and what your long term goals are. If you plan to live and work in a big city for a long time, I think it's worth the grind because the name recognition matters a lot. If you are going to settle in a smaller area, then I think a top 7 firm should be plenty impressive for your resume
Ex Big 4 turned recruiter - companies would rather hire a top national person with a clean 3-5 years vs. someone who did multiple public stints
If you can stay at the same public firm through manager level -so 4 years absolutely minimum, 6 years ideally- it will have the most impact.
It’s worth it. I worked at PwC and EY and have never had any problems finding jobs in industry because of those names on my resume.
I was at Grant Thornton for 2 years and then I went to KPMG for 3 years. I left for industry this year and I think it was worth the grind.
Caveat - With each new job there is a learning curve and a transition period before I felt settled in my role, however, I’m very adaptable. Each job required me to rebuild my network and show that I am capable of learning new systems, processes, and can work well with others.
Now that I’m in industry, I feel like I will be in this role a long time, because I enjoy the people and the work….and because I’m tired of jumping company’s.
Yes. If you can do 2 -3 years.
“Top 7” okay dude
