I’m currently trying to decide between accepting two offers with different B4 accounting firms for Senior Audit Associate. They’re both being extremely aggressive in their efforts to get me to make a decision and I’m genuinely not sure which to chose. Has anyone experienced this in the past? I just want a few days to decide, but my phone rings at least once a day with someone asking me how I’m feeling. I’m also currently employed and working so I’m very overwhelmed as the calls are disruptive.

Would a top-10 firm in NYC have any better work life balance and work experience than a Big 4 in NYC?

Question for the BCG 🐋. Went through 3 rounds of interviews for an expert role from one of the Big 4 some time back (cont.)

Company with the best technology strategy practice? (e.g. type of work, pay, culture) It appears that a lot of companies including BCG, Big 4 and Accenture are looking for technology strategy consultants at the moment.

Just started as staff in January. How long is appropriate before trying to switch to another Big 4?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a referral for tech consulting, have 1 offer from another B4 and I’m in my last year of undergrad

Has any one ever successfully had a big 4 firm allow you to work a fixed 9-5 schedule (no overtime etc) and have it work successfully in client service? Like legit laptop closes for the day and your done.

I’m currently in IT Audit at a B4. Thinking about switching to cyber because ITA feels like it could be done by a high schooler and there aren’t any exit ops. Is the grass much greener in cyber? What do you like/dislike about it?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice with regards to my next career step. Currently in audit and I have opportunities to go for a Valuations role or an FDD role (both big 4). What are the pros and cons of each? (hours and learning opps, not concerned about salary) Not looking to work long term in both and would likely want to transition into an FP&A role in the future. Hoping to jump directly but require modelling experience.

Hi, what is a typical senior consultant compensation at EY Singapore? I have been asked to quote my expectation so I want to understand what range should be acceptable. Any big 4 information will also do. Thanks!

I have two offers, looking for some help deciding between the two:

- First is from a Boutique Corporate Finance M&A firm. £20m to £200m deal size.

- Second offer is to do Financial Due Diligence at a Big 4 firm.

Which would be the best one to pick if I wanted to move to IB or Mid-Market PE in future in the UK?

Hi everyone! I’m an S1 in tax at a Big 4 in NY (only been here for a few months). I was recently offered a chance to join a long term engagement (at least one year) for a massive new client. I’ll only be focusing on the tax provision aspect for them. They’re building out a team just for this client from scratch. Do you think this is a good project to be on? Any negatives or drawbacks? Thank you all! I’d appreciate any advice!

What are the going entry comps for senior consultants and managers at big 4 ( human capital)?

Big 4 consultants that went to MBB, how has your experience been? Overall positive/negative? What are pros and cons? What are the big differences you’ve noticed?

M&A at a B4 vs at an extremely small tech-oriented boutique (a couple of partners and 1 analyst)?

Have got an offer with Accenture and Capgemini.. I am definitely looking for a good work environment, Work life balance n Onsite opportunities...pls suggest Thanks

Two questions for those of you at Big 4/other national firms:

1) At what level do you really start to see the entire tax return from start to finish?

2) How much is the “why” emphasized in training new associates on how to perform certain tasks?

I work at a smaller regional firm with roughly 70 employees (never been at a firm larger than 300 people), and I’ve been involved with many interviews of candidates from Big 4 firms where I walked away very unimpressed. Cont...

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

If you’re apply from a big 4 to another for the same job you do, how do you explain to recruiters why you want to be there? It’s basically the same place…

Someone referred me for a job at their agency and I ended up getting hired. What is an appropriate thank you?

As project management experts, we know how to manage teams. Shopify is simply a means to an end. I’m thinking about the idea of rapidly launching one product stores developed by primarily outsourced teams and fulfilled by drop shipping. Based on the success rates of the remote talent, suppliers, and product profitability, launch a health focused brand that is geared to solving the current health crises while reviving local businesses. e.g. Sanitization of public places at scale thru UV light.

What's the amount you generally spend while buying office clothes?

The results are in, went for my medical today. I've gained 1lbs in four years in the road. I put it down to diet & exercise. Always travel with running/swimming/spin gear. Try to do per diem too!

Anyone here on the Sales team at ACN? I am wondering how is Sales at ACN different, and anything about the process. I had an interview for Deal Exec. Associate Mngr, tbh the job sounded more clerical ( no quota ) , working around a sales manager and not very clear on responsibilities.

How is work life balance for new SM - in strategy consulting - public sector ? Or is it 60+ hrs a week .

Not sure I want to go the litigation route post clerking anymore. Is it possible to switch over to transactional? How would one go about making that switch? My only “experience” is a commercial drafting class I did in law school that I did well in and enjoyed.

If your entire group is low on hours, do people subtly take more vacations?

Help! I moved into a new apt building in November. rent here is about 3k but avg rent in this area is way less. There’s been many things I’ve noticed AFTER moving in but the one thing that I can’t get over is the people who live above me. I HEAR their music at 7 am.
