Yes but it’s not worth it if you have multiple years experience. You’d likely be a better fit in a PCS practice at a midsize firm and get similar opportunities to what you’d see at the big 4 but a better work environment. Unless you’d like to work mostly with publicly traded companies then focus on getting into the big 4 because they do most of that type of work.

Accounting advisory

Depends on how small but it is far more common to exit big 4 and go to a boutique than to go the other way. If you’re only a senior then you have a better chance since you have some AA experience, even if it’s not on as complex issues or clients

Yes, a dog turd could make it in. Don’t be scared of them
