Hi Fishes, I have offers from PwC(risk advisory) and IBM(app development). Thing is that the PwC joining is at Kolkata location but I don't want to go there and stay. There is not much difference between the offers in terms of package(10 & 10.4). Can I ask PwC to provide WFH or change my office location for this? Deloitte EY PwC KPMG

FDD work is pretty similar across any practice. But A&M has a better culture, significantly higher comp, and you’ll learn a lot more. But they don’t hire a lot of people out of audit, it’s very selective. Worth exploring though.
Thanks for the insights! Got a lot to consider in these next few months!

Big 4 FDD culture is office dependent and can be great. Potential total comp compared to A&M may be lower, but it’s also more fixed in nature and not dependent on utilization metrics and revenue targets. I’m assuming A&M1 came from Big 4 and is able to speak to the differences, but at least in my experience, I’ve appreciated the culture, enjoyed the people I work with, learned a ton, managed work/life integration, and have no plans to leave. I work with multiple seniors who recently joined from Deloitte audit and they’ve had a good experience so far.

Definitely - lots of options! PM if you end up wanting to apply at EY.
If you want to move to FDD at a major city, pm me!

Why don’t you go work at a VC/PE firm?
Appreciate the insights there.
Definitely realized my interests are much more related to valuations of portfolio companies, versus the day to day accounting of fund operations.
Grinded a 70 hour week while sick with COVID and just had an epiphany it was time for change. Just don’t really know what opportunities exist within FDD and the subsequent exit.
