I'm in industry. Anyone else's Deloitte or other Big 4 systems consultants just plain bad and actually make your job harder? Mainly offshore consultants. Been in other industry roles and never saw incompetence like this.

Complain to the partners.

Every B4 firm has A, B and C teams. If they are that bad why not switch service providers? Assuming it’s not your external auditors it’s pretty easy to fire contractors.

Any B4 IAM consultants make the move to Accenture? How is the talent experience (employee apps for time & expense, expense/travel policies, well being subsidy, stock options, etc) compared to what you’d find at D or EY? How do you find the quality of projects, and your role as a SC (which I understand is just “Consultant” at Accenture)? Worth making the jump or do you miss B4 life?

I'm about to join EY GDS SAT team as SBA - Strategy. Not from a big 4 background but from business research background.

What type of work can I expect day in day out, culture and most important the tools I'll be working upon. As in my current role we don't have exposure to tools a lot.

Any important skills one should have to excel in this role,
In my current organization there is a mandatory training culture with respect to role one is hired for. Does EY has something Similar?

Thanks!

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!
