I work in IA in industry and wanted to get back into Big 4 advisory. I’ve applied about 50/50 between Big 4 and industry positions and have gotten a high rate of call backs for industry roles and absolutely nothing from Big 4 and Protiviti. This is like the total opposite of what I thought was going to happen. Is public advisory just not hiring right now??? Is jumping back to public not a thing anymore?

What level are you applying for?

President/CEO roles

Nobody is hiring in consulting

Advisory market is slow. If you were willing to go assurance side, you'd probably get more call backs

You can but its most likely going to be if they’re looking for a niche skill set or experience that you have that most others don’t have
