In as much as I do not like work/office drama and I try my best to stay away from it, but it definitely has its own advantages because I have seen people who were not qualified for an internal role in my office but nominated because they are part of office politics. What's your take on office politics? Have you or anyone you know ever benefitted from office politics before?

I hate to say it, but I am very much involved in the office politics around my department. I have to be. All of my coworkers who opt out of it and pretend they are above it get ignored or overlooked or told they aren't doing enough.

With all the benefits that comes with office politics, I am already contemplating in joining it, but I do not like how draining it could also get.

Definitely have seen others benefit. I don't care much for it.

I get you, office politics could be draining, and it is completely valid if you do not want to get yourself in it.

Currently a first year staff in Risk Advisory in a Mid-Tier Firm hoping to move to Big 4 for either Risk or Cyber. When would be the most appropriate time to make the change? I heard that Senior Staff in mid-tier would most likely be hired as an “Experienced Hire” in Big 4. So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?
