I have an associate full-time offer from a Big4 & an Analyst offer from a decent consulting firm. The pay is in the 60 range for big4 and 70s for consulting firm.
What would you do? I'm not sure what the consulting job will be like but I wouldn't need a masters degree which is great. I am also an analytics minor which is useful.

The easy answer is consulting but we need to know more. Need to know your long term goals too.

What's the B4 position? Audit? Tax? FDD? AAS? Valuation?

What's the consulting role? Tech consulting? Finance transformation? Mgmt/strategy consulting?

I would lean towards consulting without knowing anything more. This is with the assumption that you'd actually be doing consulting work. If you're just implementing SAP, idk how much I'd consider that consulting. If you're doing something like risk consulting, I'd steer far away.

Has anyone gone from small real estate development company to big REIT? I’m being told that hours are the same (if not less) at the REIT, but I find it hard to believe.

The base salary is over $100k more than I currently make so I’m just wondering if it’s too good to be true.

Do Big 4 pay superannuation above the ‘max contribution base’?

For those who don’t know what this is, employers are only required to pay super on income up to around $230K (so $23K super max). Some companies may choose to pay above and beyond that.

Trying to work out the split between base and super on a contract. It is unclear in the documentation.
