I am a staff 1 for a regional accounting for a year and capable of doing staff2 jobs. Just wondering is it possible to apply for staff 2 position at big4 rather than being staff 1 again? Also how likely staff and senior at big4 work on the previous engagement while they are on the current engagement! At my current firm, working on previous jobs (clear note, complete some open procedures) while being on a the current job is a must

You would be better off either waiting another year to come in as a senior associate or going in as staff 1 and starting from the bottom to give you a chance to learn their way.

Uhh as far as I’m aware, Staff at Big Four is just Staff. The 1, 2, and 3 are just internal labels we use to signify how many years someone is in that role. There aren’t separate Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 3 job applications. There’s one Staff application, and your experience & abilities determine where you fall in terms of the career progression timeline

KPMG has intra-level subgroups in its software. The correspond to A1, A2, S1, S2, etc.

Most of the experienced staff I know have come in and are coded the same level as August campus hires, even if they have a year of experience. Better than being coded as a January campus hire, I suppose.

Stay as far away from B4 as possible

Working on a previous client while doing work for a current client may be less likely at the Big4 than most other firms. That happens mostly because they spend months and months on the same client. At every national firm down, you will most certainly be balancing multiple jobs at the same time.

You could definitely come into EY as a staff 2. I wouldn’t wait to come in as a senior because then you have to catch up on our methodology and processes. I feel like experienced hire seniors are set up to fail unless they are very strong performers.

Hi Sharks, I urgently need your help with reviews on 'Deloitte Shared Services LLP'. Please tell me about career growth, benefits? Would really appreciate your help!

Have the opportunity to join a startup consultancy as a Product Manager and move away from the big 4.

Going to be employee 15 as opposed to an org with ~650K employees.

Same pay. A LOT of growth opportunity. Less overall benefits, but I think the experience will net me out to be a Director in just a year or two within the org, and a lot of potential to move out from there.

I'm slightly terrified, but the team feels awesome, and they have some big clients.

What would you do?
