Looking at applying for IT Assurance MD role at BDO USA, LLP what’s it’s like at BDO and can you still get to Partner or is MD the end of the road? I know PwC and EY are you’re either partner or MD wasn’t sure if that’s how it is for BDO

As far as I know it’s pretty much one or the other at most places. With that said BDO is super respectable so it’s a good spot in any case

Yes MD then Partner. Like KPMG.

I know of at least two PwC Directors (essentially senior managers before PwC added the fake Director title) that I worked with personally who left and were admitted directly to the BDO partnership. I would see if you could get a similar gig, even if you need to spend some extra time as a senior manager.

I also know a senior manager who left PwC and was directly admitted to the GT partnership, so I think it’s pretty common to go right to partner at another firm.

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
