Is RSM FDD good compared to Big 4 and to regional firms?EY


Moving from Canada to the U.S. Have offers from a regional firm and from RSM. The process with RSM was smooth at first and then dragged on for a month over what I was told to expect. I was asked for 2 more interviews after being told to expect an offer, and I was offered M1 (I'm an M3 in Canada Big 4). I'm a lot less excited about joining RSM now and liked the national firm better, but I worry about exit ops from regional vs RSM.

No matter the firm, the answer will always be “it depends on the team.” I’ve had a great experience in RSM FDD

Would agree - WLB more than makes up for a slight decline in pay compared to Big 4 for me. People here are also great/supportive, generally.

Ideally big 4 is still the best, your best bet is to take RSM and leverage that to go back to big 4 later.

I moved from Big 4 Canada to Big 4 NYC. The best exits in the US will typically be from big 4.
