I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti

Providence Health & Services Anyone looking to exit to industry? I’m a former Big 4 revenue cycle consultant now leading the net revenue valuation and analytics at a large West health system with two current openings. One is in the data shop (SQL, cloud migration, Clarity) and the other is on the analyst side (budget/forecast, variance/trend analysis). Offshore team for the grunt work allows us to focus on value-add, including collaboration with our data scientists on integrating machine learning into our processes. Providence Health & Services
At Amazon, what is the difference between a Program Manager and Technical Program Manager? It looks like the Technical one gets paid about 25% more but not sure what roles/responsibilities they do differently. Amazon
Also how technical a background does someone need for a Technical Program Manager role?

Many of my friends are at BDO/RSM and they work much less and the job is overall much less stressful.
Yeah I work with a manager at KPMG and the hours that man emails me at and expects a response is ridiculous. Sorry buddy, I'm not responding to a request I gave you months ago on a Saturday night over a holiday weekend. I deal directly with him as a courtesy. His client doesn't pay my bill and I certainly don't work for him.
Switched from big 4 to Crowe and so far I feel a lot less stressed. It’s a much more personal experience since they are generally smaller firms. There are still some of the same issues though.
Mid tier is raggedy as hell but with the same hours as big 4. Don’t do it.

Haven't you heard, BDO and RSM are merging to surpass KPMG and become the new 4th member of the Big 4.

How’s that PTO working out?
Having gone the other direction (RSM —> PwC), a lot of the work is similar (at least for tax). The numbers and clients are smaller from a dollars perspective but the issues are similar. The firm itself generally has fewer resources available (technology, technical resources, trainings, etc). So in some cases it can feel challenging.
There’s also some benefits to a smaller firm. For example I was in a specialty tax practice so got to do work across different offices / markets and have more autonomy at an earlier point in my career than I would have at PwC. So I feel like I was exposed to more at an earlier stage which can be great from a career progression perspective.
It’s B4 but with clients that are small and less rev. Agree with the above that it’s less resources available. Runs like a small firm but wants to compete and act like a B4

Curious in this as well
A great way to measure this is to ask what % of time their tax department wears the H&R Block hat
