Deloitte had a recruiting team come to my class years ago in college. One of them had a ratty belt that looked like something you'd wear mowing the yard with a beer in your hand. Never been able to get that out of my head.

I relate to this tbh. During recruiting Deloitte is the only firm I didn’t apply to because I thought I’d get rejected immediately. In hindsight it was irrational and a potential missed opportunity but ya live ya learn I guess

Hello everyone,

Need some assistance. I’ve been in audit for 3.5 years and want to switch over to consulting. Not sure if I want to stay at the firm I am currently at. What options do I have right now, in terms of consulting firms to switch to? Also, Is there other big 4 firms that pay as high as those consulting firms? Which firms are hiring? Need some help with this and what’s available right now. In either the NY or CA area.

Advice on dealing with criticism of your writing? I write, my supervisor rewrites it, then her supervisor rewrites that. By the time it gets back to me, I just want to go with what the last person came up with because it's so much better than what I wrote, and I'm so weary of the repeated exercise. The process is taking the joy out of writing and negatively affects how I feel about the writing I do outside of work for mere enjoyment.
