It’s big 4 not best 4.

B4 always slammed by government investigations. Nature of the business.

I think the news cycle has always been there but you’re probably taking more notice as you progress in your career. This is all a bunch nothing compared to Enron, Waste management, WorldCom and Andersen days. Even the big KPMG tax avoidance stuff in later 2000s seemed a much bigger deal at the time than current. While there are scandals in Australia and China garnering a lot of attention, they’re relatively small compared to the US market stuff.

We are fined all the time and it doesn’t change. EY was fined $100 million for an ethics violation for staff…and revenue increased to $51 billion!

At this point, all are too big to fail. I hope I am wrong.

The most recent scandal is Sam Bankman-Fried.

Wasn't big 4.

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.
