I’m joining BDO soon as a senior. My experience is from smaller firms. I’m super nervous about my technical abilities as the clients here are massive. Any advise?

It depends

What are you nervous about pertaining to your technical abilities? Can you get training online or otherwise to fill potential gaps? Who can you ask for help on dealing with differences between clients you've been serving and ones you will be serving? Deloitte is full of great people; leverage them.

You're bringing experience with you. Don't discount what you know and build on that by seek out help from others.

Every client engagement is a bit different because of the assigned teams - big or small.

You can do this!

I came in as a senior from a smaller firm as well. You’ll be fine. There will always be a learning curve as you adjust to their way and system of doing things. But overall just make sure to ask questions and speak up if you don’t understand something or are getting stuck.

Audit is audit, tax is tax regardless of client size. Only true difference is methodology which is taught.

I joined a bigger firm from a smaller firm. Going from $x million every once in a while to every number being $xxx million killed my 10 key/ excel shoulder. 🤣 That was the funniest thing to me. The numbers were so big, I'd have to count them out. And sometimes the tax software will remove the ,'s and I would lose my place. You will be great. Congrats on the new adventure!
