So I recently applied for a position as a training specialist, but I feel like I’m more than qualified to look for other roles. I have work in finance, but I do have my PMP, but I haven’t led any large projects, just assisted on them any advice to a young professional that just graduated with an MPA Fiserv, Inc

Which Big 4 is best by work wise.
I am deeply influenced by the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) principles.. wondering.. have people seen young partners (say A level partners) retire after a couple years? How does it affect pension for such partners?
Context: I'm trying to retire in the next 10-12 years.. which (if i stay in consulting) will probably be y2 or so as PPMD. Trying to gather some historical precedence info from the expert here!Deloitte

Deloitte AML manager here - came in as an experienced hire Senior Consultant after being a manager at an investigations team at a bank. Good level to come in at. Work is up and down - depends on the engagement, but can get experience across kyc, transaction monitoring, fraud, testing, etc… i would recommend it for experience, networking, and upskilling but not for the long haul
It’s a grind - being in client services we are beholden to the client demands/needs (or the partner’s perception of them). Can be long hours and weekends, deadline driven, and expectations to assist with firm initiatives (proposals, thought development, etc). You learn an incredible amount due to the fast pace and expectations, but easy to see burnout
For pay, in my experience, there is more guaranteed salary then a bank and better annual raises, bonus is comparable or slightly less
EY does have a substantial AML team. There are multiple projects in pipeline and needs multiple experiences resources. Your work life kinda depends on the SM and the client though.
It can be tough work because you have to balance the business side. For actual FIs, it’s not a money making exercise. For B4s it is. So it’s not just about the work, but about making money. Interesting balance, but has its pos/negs
