Hi EY and Fishes everywhere! I might be getting an offer to join tax as an S1 (or exp. assoc), probably not being able to start until mid August based off how the process has been. However, I currently work at a mid size firm and we’re already getting into busy season. How would it look if I asked EY to postpone my start date till after 10/15 and say that I’m not ready to be thrown into a Big 4 busy season and that I don’t want to leave my current firm out to dry. Thank you all so much! @EY

Is it worth going to a smaller firm like Crowe, Baker Tilly, etc in order to break into FDD? Or should I keep looking at Big 4? I'm coming from risk advisory (current S1 CPA), so the switch seems very difficult.

My rotation opportunity here is on hold indefinitely due to covid, and from the firm's side, they prefer external hires from audit (good experience, steal them from other B4, no transfer politics).

For those who have been in a top 10 firm and big 4...likes and dislikes? Quality of life differences? (Skip on the exit ops and prestige of big 4 on the resume...yes yes, we all know that 😉)

First year as a Manager here (TAG) and my ye bonus is over $100k. Blown away. I keep hearing insane numbers about people who’ve been here even longer. Curious how others did?!

FYI, all: McKinsey works for oil companies. I know no other firms ever would do such a thing, so wanted to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.

I am a Partner and exiting out of consulting in Tech. Is it better to exit in corporate strategy or GTM strategy for longer term upward and broader career mobility? I enjoy both but need to decide soon and wanted to hear some high-level perspectives.

What are some of the most influential factors which helped shape your career and led to a successful rise up to PPMD level ?

I have recruitment inquiries from Strategy& and PwC Consulting. How integrated are they? What's the pro and con of each?

Looking for firms/areas where to work on “people” and “org” topics. No longer at BCG left as a sr. Principal to join industry, learnt a fair bit but realize people topics are the space I thrive in and wondering if coming back to consulting would be interesting. Any recommendations on firms who focus a lot on those areas?

Joining Accenture as a lateral MD next month. Any inputs on how to build network and connect with fellow MDs, especially in a remote setup? Are people open to collaborate with “outsiders” at a senior level, or should I expect friction with people protecting their turf and sticking to their own connections? How is the work culture like at MD level? For context, I will join strat and consulting.

I'm an Accenture Managing Director considering a move to Deloitte. I've got 15 - 20 yrs possibly left in my career. Any thoughts on Managing Director vs Principal?

Has your firm gone woke? My leadership is consumed by virtue signaling and social justice to the point where nothing else (even our business) seems to matter. More importantly, they seem oblivious to the fact that not everyone shares their woke sensibilities and they’ve said some highly divisive and offensive things. There is no vehicle for dissent. Thinking of leaving a firm I’ve dedicated my life to as a result. It’s a sad realization.

Considering an MD position at Accenture and need to give comp expectation, its on Strategy side. Of course its based on my own need and desire, but like to hear from (ex)MDs at Accenture if 400k sounds like a reasonable ask for base. And can anyone help me understand the difference between L4 and L3? For reference, I am a Senior Principal with almost 2 years executive industry experience post consulting. Thanks for any insights!

What does your firm call client accunt executives? Is this B4 only or does MBB have too?

A penny for your thoughts. Is anyone well served by the legal fights between Jay Alix and McKinsey? Read the pleadings in the RICO case, and the black and white narrative went all grey.

Any recommendations on great travel agents/planners? How do you plan your trips, find great experiences, get great places to stay? My husband and I both work, but barely have time to plan and are super picky and want to make our trips memorable, two young teens also along for the ride….

Any suggestions on how to get an adjunct teaching role at a university. Don't need money or prestige. I enjoy teaching and gives me something to do when I retire in ~10 yrs. Many colleagues who do this are big alumni donors. My Alma mater is too far away to be practical option. I'm an expert in a very in demand field - get quoted in articles all the time but have not been able to connect with anyone in academia.

For those of you who have a much different life than your family of origin, how much support (financial, emotional, time and energy, ect) do you devote to your parents and siblings? My upbringing was ok but I have worked hard to clear out familial problems (drinking, anxiety, hypochondria) and build a very different life and marriage. My sister and mother especially feel very stuck in past cycles and I vacillate on how much I “owe” them. I’m in my 30s now and wonder how others cope over time…

Why is comp shrouded in mystery at B4? Trying to figure out where I am on the totem pole. I’m a 6th year tech partner making 800k. Where are you?
