Is the principle of “last in, first out” true? Due to accept an offer in Big 4 which is experiencing a lot of demand (and likely will even more so in recession) but concerned about current economic conditions

Highly unlikely redundancies happen. At Big 4 the attrition is so high that just turning off recruitment will bring the business down in size quickly

No, the principle of whether you stay/go is more likely to be a combination of the quality or relevance of your CV to the service demand and whether you perform well on project. There’s no reward for loyalty at these firms and you regularly see this year’s news story become next year’s fish & chip paper.

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

Hi everyone! I’m a recruiter in search of associate - senior manager level tax professionals across the US that would be interested in working at a big 4 client. If you or someone you know is looking to make a move, I would love to talk with you!

Applied for a B4 senior forensic role, but was not even granted an interview after my initial phone screen with HR; I’m confused why because i thought they needed bodies. My background includes 4 years of forensic experience on multiple investigations and program oversights, 5 years in other professional, non-forensic roles, and i have both a CFE and a CPA under my belt. The phone screen was basically HR asking if i have used google suite and tableau

Currently a consultant at a big 4 but am interested in breaking into marketing. Any advice/company recs? For context i have 1 year experience.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
