How succinct would you make your resume for Big 4? Does the 1 page rule still apply?

Is there a B4 firm that is better for WLB than the others? Is there a worst one? PwC is bad in general, and of course varies by practice/partner, but I am curious to hear your perspective

Hi all,

I recently joined one of the big 4' and within first week I got diagnosed with health condition (migraine) and another one(personal to not be disclosed here)
Now I am unable to work due to this health condition and even if I take leaves, i am unsure how long till this gets better as day by day it seems to get worse
I feel like resigning and focusing on recovery but unsure of the repercussions. Can you guys help me with what I should do

Few weeks back it seemed like offices are about to open up but now with the 2nd wave, is any Big 4 going ahead with those plans?

Asking because I'll join PwC India Mumbai in April.
Would prefer to not relocate immediately if wfh is getting extended.

Obviously MBB are the top consulting firms, but would people feel different about prestige based on service line? As in, is it better to be any type of BA/EM/etc at McK than doing the “sexiest” strategy work at a B4/tier 2? Would any of y’all at Tier 2s accept any lateral role at MBB? Curious to hear thoughts

Does anyone ever get fired from a Big 4? I have a staff that I have no idea how she made it through. Much lower level of performance than even the interns.

What does it mean when big 4 is used in this Salesforce bowl? Does it refer to the big 4 consulting companies Deloitte, EY, PWC, etc. or big 4 tech companies Google Facebook Amazon Apple or something else entirely?

For those of you that jumped from Big 4 to smaller audit firms, what are some of the things that you did that helped you have a successful and fulfilling career at your smaller firm?

Looking for advice: would you stay in partner pipeline at Big 4 or move to one of the MBBs as a principal? I am hearing that with Big 4 getting into strategy more, MBBs will be obsolete soon thoughts?

If you have transferred from a non-Big 4 firm to a Big 4, what was your transfer experience like? What challenges or surprises did you encounter? What did you find to be better at the Big 4 vs. what was better at the non-Big 4?

What big 4 have the best maturity and paternity leave policies?

Curious what the current Employee Referral Bonuses look like in B4 firms? As a smaller firm, our people are being inundated by recruiters, but also staff/seniors from B4 firms looking to poach, I assume because there is significant financial incentive. How good are the referral bonuses at your firm?

Is anyone in ESG Consulting? I’m going into Audit at B4 next year but was reached out to by some people in ESG at a different office location about possibly switching. Nothing is even remotely official but I want to learn more about the area, position, salary, etc. before speaking to them so we can have a better conversation.

SWE’s: how do you think your career progression is going? Any specific goals for this year? (Of course, you don’t have to be a SWE to comment lol)

Partners, Principals, and Directors- how did you network effectively as you moved up in your firms? Seems like rubbing a lot of elbows is required to make friends that will vouch for you. Personally find it difficult at networking events because I don't drink, and though I have a ton of friends that do and am personally comfortable around folks that get loose, they seem to be the ones that are a bit more closed off for a number of reasons that I can understand. If you don't drink, did you experience these challenges? And whether you do or don't, what tips do you have on building those real, lasting relationships? Always feels like I have to work down their guard and that just takes so much more work than I feel others don't have to do

In case this helps someone else, I just turned down a GCP TAM role that was a L5. Disappointing since I think the role would have given me more opportunity to have an impact on the business than where I am now.

Bonus - 15%
