Not going to lie, this hurts me. Comming from disadvantaged background. Breaking into consulting, and then recruiting at big schools. Kids start talking about doing world trips, daddy given them insight at work etc. They fly through interviews although resume has no work experience just fun crap to talk about. To be frank it's who you know not what you know. W.e I'm here now, but not 99% of my friends.

Hi B4 fisher,

Been interview with b4 for assurance senior, am I gonna work in the team where the interviewers are in?

My experience is more focused in financial service and done few consumer products clients, but don't wanna do financial service anymore. The sr manager and partner interviewed me are all in financial service, does this mean I'm gonna be stuck in financial service again if I take the offer?

Really need some advice here, thanks!

I joined a later stage startup as a corporate strategy “manager”. I put manager in quotes as there’s no one else in strategy.

What kind of opportunities are out there after this one?

Hello ladies, does anyone have a great non-judgemental financial advisor in NYC? I’m 34 & found myself back to $0 & living paycheck to paycheck after some unfortunate life circumstances. Want to know the best way to rebuild so I don’t have to work until I die and also have some hope. I feel like such a failure even though this was out of my control. Also being single and doing life on 1 income is even harder.
Would appreciate any recommendations or just words of encouragement at this point.

I’m a late 40’s, 3rd year Partner in Big4 who joined as a DEMD after 2 decades in industry. I’m weighing an offer to join another Firm - it’s a straight comp play for 30% higher Comp for a similar role. I realize that the BS is mostly the same at all B4, so I don’t think for a second the grass is greener. But the comp is nice, and I’m not vested enough to lose much money. Did anyone here make a similar jump to another Firm, and in the end, was it a genius move, or did you come to regret it?

Became a manager this year. This is my experience so far. *Spends 5-7 days holding staff/seniors accountable and motivating them to help me meet the ridiculous deadline a Partner signed us up for and end up re-doing most of it overnight since they were so rushed and write a massive summary email and send to client with deliverable*. The client response “Thx will look soon. Sent from my iPhone”😅
