I’m a senior in audit. I am trying to land on big4 FDD/FAAS. I went through a couple interviews. “🎼Applied so hard, and got so far, in the end, I wasn’t even hired.🎶” I am now having second thoughts about PA. I am reading these job descriptions for industries, and honesty, it looked so chilled. I would assume it’s 40 hours week, 9-5. Any advice?

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension. Say you make partner at 40, so can’t earn pension til 55. If you retire at 55 does that mean all you have is whatever you’ve contributed to 401k or otherwise saved? Or is there a lifetime salary if you’ve been partner a certain duration?
