I am an audit experienced manager in a mid-tier firm (GT/RSM/BDO) and want to leave my current firm. Should I go Big4 or another mid-tier firm? I am a bit intimidated going to Big4, although I dont think I should be.

Audit is audit no matter where you go. I came in as an experienced hire and can tell you that the most difficult thing is learning the new software. I wouldn't be that intimidated. I can give you a referral if you want.

Lol don’t be intimidated. You’ve made it to manager in public you can crush it anywhere big 4 or big 10. I’ve worked both places, don’t let the hype go to your head

I’d say interview at both and make a decision based on that. DM if you want a referral to GT.

Same as what EY1 said. Came in as an exp hire as a senior. It was tough but you can make it work. DM if you want more details and referral!

I would start with mid size firm to gain better foundational knowledge then transfer to big4 for exposure to bigger clients. You get the best of both worlds.

^I did this and think it’s a great idea

Started at a mid tier, switched to B4 as a S3. Great experience so far.

Its the same. Likely easier at a Big 4

^I agree with this, the resources at Big 4

Everything at my last mid tier was so manual and made more work for everyone.

I made the move from a mid tier to Big 4 recently. It’s a good experience so far and it’s great to have the name on your resume

I agree with EY1, audit is audit. The hours and work is mostly the same as my old mid tier firm (top 15).

I too can give a referral to Deloitte if you would like!

Wow, rsm is 10k for managers
