I have an opportunity to move from RSM to Big4 as a first year manager. Curious if anyone out there has made a similar move? Was it difficult to move from a midsize firm to Big4?

Well - get ready to actually learn how to audit.

All jokes aside, I've seen two managers come from mid level and there was a steep learning curve. However they did handle it quickly. You'll be fine

Kpmg auditors aren’t well rounded accountants. No chance they would be able to dig in and help you lol they just check off checklists and coordinate stuff around to more technical teams

I would go for it and don’t look back!

Percentage increase?

Industry - and a lot of the job postings I see that I think I would want to pursue say “big4 audit experience preferred”.

do it. best thing for your career. Also RSM is going down a path that is pretty odd laying off their partners so who knows if they will be slipping in the industry.

You are ahead of the curve going from RSM to any Big Four. You are more hungry and knowledgeable than them. You have a better understanding of handling multiple clients and engagements. You also did not sit there testing footnotes and low risk items and actually got your hands dirty from the get go. You will be golden there.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
