Looking for someone who works for DHG who can give me the inside scoop on work-life balance at the firm. Is it really better than Big 4? Considering jumping ship.

Left a National firm for DHG (BDO/ GT/ RSM) and didn’t make it a year before I boomeranged back. They don’t have the same resources, advanced technology, etc. They will expect that since you’re from B4 you can jump in and know the client, methodology, etc. They do not do a good job of supporting transitioning associates. I worked more at DHG than I did at the National firm. Low profile clients and sloppy/ messy accounting.

Although, I would note, you might make more $$ in terms of a better offer, but your pay increases will not be on par with B4 (not considering COVID). Make sure you understand their promotion AND raise structure. For example, my firm didn’t give raises based on promotion, it was just the yearly raise everyone got.

No

Have not worked at B4, but I imagine busy season will be similar. They’re pretty good with flexibility as long as you’re getting work done. Which office?
