How much of a difference is manager from SA for independence in Fed adv consulting at B4. I feel like the tracking burden is pretty low for SA level. How do people with a spouse in finance or investing work here as manager or do they just not.

Manager is when the fun begins for most firms independence wise. Unless you’re at EY, they get right up in your financials as staff and it goes beyond immediate family members. Fun fun fun!

I wish I knew how invasive the EY independence process was prior to joining. It's so liberating now that I'm no longer part of the firm.

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 ??

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
