In UK do Deloitte/other big 4 give employees a phone?

Hi guys, is BIG 4 a safe bet in Singapore right now seeing there is a bit uncertainty in European and US markets. I hold an offer from one of the BIG 4 in Singapore. Not sure if it’s the right time to move

After you accepted an offer form a Big 4, how long does it takes them to file for your H1b? Assuming registration is open

Got offered 115K with 25-30% bonus for a fund accountant role with 3 years of public experience. Is that normal? Seems like really high. I live in NY to clarify. Combination of Big 4 and midsize experience. What’s the normal salary range for ppl in that range?

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

What is PwC’s Salesforce practice like? Is the WLB any good at the Senior Associate level? Is their comp any different than other Big 4?

Is it worth making the time/money investment to make the switch from big 4 FDD to MBB. This would require getting into and paying for a top MBA program and my net worth would be way negative after that. Are the MBB financial returns worth it? Im 26 years old for reference

Big 4 : How would you evaluate this offer in consulting : 170 k, HCOL, 9 yoe, Manager in HCOL?

Transactions salary range for experienced managers or senior managers SF/LA location. Exploring options with other big 4. Any suggestions.

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.
What type of things would you be asking yourself if you were in my shoes and debating to jump ship?

Need some guidance. Here is my situation:
1. Just transferred to big 4 FDD as snr from big4 audit (~a month ago, with no deal yet under my belt)
2. Studying for fmva certification
3. 1+ year plan is to take the GMAT & apply to ivy league mba program. Planning to break into IB and then PE later.
4. Got approach recently by a recruiter from Houlihan Lokey (HL) for an associate position in the Midwest. Comp range 120k -130k. I make about 100k now.
- Is the move going to be worth it? what'd you do

Anyone make the exit from B4 to external recruiting for an agency? Like Robert Half but smaller. I’m talking with one now and am considering it since I like the commission aspect. What is it like / how tough is it?

I’m struggling to find industry senior accounting roles that are offering much above 100K in the NYC market. Currently a S2 in audit in the B4, has this just been the norm recently or am I not looking for the right opportunities?

Hey Big 4/ PA fish, when you write financial statements and footnotes for a company (technical accounting work), do you use PDF or word?

MBB interviewers: Given constant GPA, SAT & UG Program, what increases chance of an industry hire landing a generalist interview: 1-2 YOE at Big 4, ACT, Booz, etc OR 1-2 YOE at Spotify, Snap, Bird...

Laterals to Deloitte Cyber from other B4: Can you describe your interview process and what each one entailed? TIA!

Which is a better Big 4 to join for Business consulting risk- EY or KPMG?

Hey! Audit manager (exp in Financial
services sector) with a Big 4 looking to
relocate from USA (been here 3 years)
to Singapore. Any suggestions on how
to land a job/offer in SG? Also any
thoughts on the EP climate right now
will be much appreciated:) (I'm very
excited about possibly moving to SG,
but want to be realistic about my
expectations). If anyone can refer me/
pass along headhunter/recruiter contacts, will
definitely be appreciated too! Thanks!
:) (fingers crossed)

What's your one regret from your time in the MBA program?

Hy all

Right now I am in notice period and don't have any offer in hand
But I inform to my manager I have a offer with x amount and he agreed to match it
Right now I am going for a call with HR
If they ask do I have any offer in my hand then what should I answer them
Will HR ask for the offer latter which I have?
Fact - I don't have any offer in hand right now

Is it realistic to pitch an LBO candidate that has a negative P/E? How am I supposed to get accurate financials on private companies I’m trying to pitch?

How do we get them to shorten the consumer ISI? It serves no ethical purpose and physicians hate it. Here’s my version:

Im a MBA holder and currently pursuing CISA. It's been awhile since I have started to have high interest in pursuing a career as IT auditor. Anybody here would like to refer me into any Big 4, very open for entry positions.

At EY is I was reimbursed for a stationary bike 2 years ago. Would EY reimburse me for a road bike this coming year? There's a stipulation that says every 5 years but I'm not sure if that means for another stationary bike or if I can get a road bike and be reimbursed.

Another foot-in-my-mouth situation where what I said was misinterpreted but still shouldn’t have said in the first place. My lack of filter, especially after a few drinks, is constantly getting me in trouble. How many of you are struggling with not having your mouth lead your brain?

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

Has optum called employees back mandatorily?

Thoughts on buying a house now? Lease is up in January. Can finally afford to buy. But would it be better to wait until next year in case of recession -> foreclosure market -> better deals? WDYT

Curious what other junior associates at PR agencies are making off the bat? I earned my master’s degree last year and accepted a JA role for $36K. Recently, my salary was adjusted to $40K due to having been on the lower end of the pay spectrum for my role. Wondering if my new salary is more aligned with others at my level.

How far did CFA take you? Is it respected within IB? Would love to know if it was worth it for everyone

Is there anyways to deal with two faced bosses in reliance ?

How long after making an offer to a candidate would you wait before pulling the offer?

Anyone have any recs for self help books? Looking for more relatable topics to myself I guess?

Does B4 let people go the same day as their resignation only if they’re going to a direct competitor? How about MBB or a tier 2 consulting firm?

Have people been let go immediately in case they go to FAANG or other industry firms?

Currently 23 with 1.5 YOE. I have a goal to work abroad in APAC before the age of 30. Would you recommend I do so at ages 24-26, 26-28, 28-29?

I joined EY a year ago as a senior and am very fed up with my group. I work on short-term projects with very scrutinized budgets, yet my utilization is supposed to be 100%, so my hours are scrutinized by the teams I work with and leadership. It feels like it's all they care about. Has anyone moved firms due to such reason?

Hey all, new hire here! Going to receive a $250 wfh credit; any recs on what I should get to build out my home office?

Top consulting firms in the aviation / urban air mobility space?

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍

I am starting a new role with a new company and will have 6 direct reports. Although I have managed teams before in a consulting project setting, this will be the first time in industry. Any recommendations on how to sharpen my management skills (books, blogs, etc). Particularly looking at how to delegate effectively and practical examples on how to run day to day.

Do you have to return the sign on bonus if you get laid off, sign on period (2 years) has not yet passed. I would also like to know the firm's severance policy.

I just left t2 strategy for a boutique firm, and I already regret it. I thought I liked consulting but wanted a different culture, but I realize that I don’t like strategy consulting- the timelines are too stressful and I don’t want to travel anymore.
I’ve only been at this company a month- is it way too early to start applying elsewhere? I feel like I made a mistake and I don’t want to miss out on the “great reshuffling” with all these great opportunities.

Women how much did you pay for your hair and makeup as the bride? Trying to make sense of the cost

Is severance taxed higher? I got 1 month of pay but seemed to be taxed much higher
