It's my first day at a different big 4 than my tag and the only thing I have to do is an hour zoom call, then the next two days are 3 hr zoom calls. Is this normal? PwC had me doing 9 hrs of training the first day lol

Hi Fishes,

I got offer Letter from infosys 2.5 months back, now when I am trying to decline the offer by sending a mail to HR, it was not getting delivered as HR left the organisation 1 month back, I forwarded mail to feedback team of infosys but still got the mail from onboarding team with joining details and WebEx link, kindly suggest how to proceed in this case.

IBM started to drop the mail for join Slack etc. and the mail for laptop request for new hire .

What if I don't join on the last day or deny to join on last day ? Because still need to decide between two offers .

I need advice , 2YOE big 4 audit . My dream job is forensic investigation /intelligence /litigation. Current location is USA and I will be moving to Canada next year fall. I don’t want to work in audit when I get there. This busy season has really stressed me out. Should I stick it out for this last year or get a job in forensic field now . I’m just lost , I don’t know if it will be better to have forensic experience before I move. Thanks

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

Hi Team,

I have cleared all the interview rounds (WebEx & HR on call) for the position: VERIFIER, and also submitted documents (authentic as per my knowledge) for background verification on Aug. 25, 2022.

Crowd sourcing my dilemma: joining a very successful 4 yrs old start-up for an executive level role (short term increase in comp is 200%) vs staying 2 more years at B4 with very high possibility of partner promotion?

Anyone have any luck getting an interview at another Big 4 in advisory by directly applying to their website?

Considering making a switch from Big 4. Comments to share on bonus this year and in a normal year? Culture?

I’ve been receiving a handful if direct messages about opportunities available at EYP’s Transaction and Restructuring Strategy practice.
Curious to hear what people think of B4 vs restructuring oriented firms (FTI, A&M, Alix) and and what to expect re comp (with 3YoE I’m probably at the consultant level)

International tax manager with 7 years experience all at KPMG. Thinking about switching to industry to see it from a new perspective and do similar work from a different angle. How do you successfully transfer B4 skills/experience to industry (how do you find the right fit?), and how do you continue to learn and build your skills so that you’re still marketable and could boomerang back if it doesn’t work out in a few years? Am I asking too much?

Hello Fishes,
