I am A2 or A3 at BDO. Have cpa. Have two more years experience at the service line in general. But less than 1 year with BDO. One big 4 offered me senior position and 30% raise. I am high performer at my team, they told me they would consider my mid year position. Should I negotiate counter offer with BDO? Or just leave? Any chance they would match my offer?- both position and pay .

Jump. I heard BDO is WHAAAAACK

30% raise. Promotion. And big four? I’d just leave. It’s going to improve your career trajectory being in the big four. They can’t even really match it imo.

Just be prepared to stay with the new firm for a bare minimum of 2 yrs, preferably 3. Otherwise you risk being perceived as a flight risk to a new employer before you're even hired.

Leave! BDO always offers lower compared to other CPA firms.

Leave. We’re a sinking ship.

Low pay

Leave, Big4 is offering you more money and seniority. Not only that, there's a clear advantage with Big4 over BDO from a resume perspective. I came from BDO several yrs back, so speaking from experience.

like

Yeah leave. I left for EY. While honestly it's sometimes a little stupid that B4 has a premium from a reputation perspective (as I've seen some managers from B4 who were idiots compared to some managers at BDO - and vice versa), it exists. So if you're in public to learn what you can for just a few years before jumping, B4 will make a bigger jump easier

like

No, no don’t be afraid. Just leave. Your resume will shine with big 4 experience.

Yes. That’s my concern

It’s a concern not worth having too much. No one will care. Switch to big4. It’s a big difference.

If you were going the other way, I’m sure the masses here may even have advised against it.

I mean, before this year, two friends of mine went from BDO to Big4 and were brought in one level lower. So what they offered you sounded good to me.

Hi,
Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years. I was in public accounting for almost 5 years prior and stepped away as a supervising senior in audit for a mid tier firm. Would love to get a chance to connect/network with some people.
