👆🏼Agreed. As BDO1 said, TAS is the largest group outside of Audit and Tax ---- IT advisory or forensics is not existent. BIG4 is the way to go.

Advisory/consulting is a tiny practice at BDO and really most nationals/regionals, compared to B4. I think the largest group we have is TAS and even that's fairly small. I don't know if we even have IT advisory - mostly IS assurance

If you're looking to go Advisory, go B4. Pay will be better and opportunities will be better.

Thanks. Currently working at B4's advisory but was informed that BDO is expanding their consulting arm.

They are trying to expand consulting and advisory but the economy, at least in my market, is making it somewhat difficult.

Yes, it is expanding. All mid market firms are trying and BDO has worked to make a major push recently by acquiring firms with more established advisory practices

Not a big group at BDO but the risk advisory group is growing and has good leadership

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
