Hey Big 4 Partners, given independence constraints, I assume you buy investment properties. do you believe this to be superior to buying stocks, and what do you do to educate yourself in this process?

Need help deciding on two initial offers:

5.5 YoE
4 of accounting/tax transformation at big 4 (Alteryx Tableau)
1.5 of Digital transformation, product development (stakeholder/end user engagement, roadmapping, delivery management etc)

Offer 1: Deloitte Manager - 170 TC, 150 base 20 sign on
Offer 2: Boutique transformation consulting (business/finance) - 170 TC, 160 base 10k sign on

Obviously leaning toward #2 for obvious reasons, WLB, not silo'd, etc

How many of you were direct admits to Partnership? From other consulting firms, or from industry? Was it a lateral move, or a step up/down?

The reason I ask is: I’m a Y3 Director at Big 4, always been a consultant and probably 2 years away from Partner. I have an offer from industry for VP at a F50 company, but am wondering about how difficult it’d be to boomerang back if it doesn’t work out.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
