I may have an opportunity for fdd at b4 and I’m currently in mm firm where I’m generally happy. Other than the brand-name, is there any reason why I should pursue Big four? The salary is gonna stay the same.

If i say no to them but need this opportunity in future, does it harm your relation?

I’m ex B4 as well. It’s just reality that the exit oops are better coming from B4. If they want to stay in FDD in MM long term, by all means they should stay put.

If your team is good, imo the risk of being on a bad team isn’t worth a lateral at the same comp. Maybe some will say brand name is worth more but it’s a risk on team quality

No it doesn’t harm your relations if you turn them down - just do what’s best for yourself. At the end of the day - it’s just a job.

You’ll get more hours at the same pay. And it’ll take longer to prove yourself / get promoted

Are you trying to exit FDD and need to leverage the brand name recognition of a b4? If not then I see no point of moving unless you’re looking for big firm / UMM / mega deal experience.

Yeah big 4 won’t give you less hours. Like other have said - it’s for the brand name / exit ops and big 4 will typically pay more than mm.

One other thing to consider is that you’ll probably end up working for some crappy people and clients when you start out (those deals are short staffed for a reason) until you build a reputation and network.
