PwC is #1 in audit, Deloitte is #1 in advisory. EY is 3rd place everything, then KPMG

I work in industry and we engage the big3. I would rank it PwC > Deloitte > EY. Which hurts to admit it bc I am ex-EY. But damn those pwc folks are really on top of their shit. Anecdotal evidence only.

KPMG & PwC

Rankings are perceptions- you can always find one you like better than another.

😂 yes, and learning about those perceptions is the point of the post.

I think this makes no sense because it’s very regional. For instance EY dominates the Bay Area but in LA I think PwC is doing much better for instance

(exactly why I said to choose/provide your criteria)

Only been at 2 of the 4, so:

Technology: PwC > EY

VAT/GST: EY > PwC

I’m in Boston. Audit practice. PWC>EY>Deloitte>KPMG

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market. Before taking FMLA for 12 weeks I was a top performer. Any advice from those that also live with bipolar disorder, or advice on a potentially a less stressful position to ease out of sales? I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.
