Looking to make a switch to another big4 but haven’t had any initial luck applying online. Would it be weird if I cold messaged a recruiter on LinkedIn that worked at that company? Or any other tips?

Also long story short, the audit practice doesn’t want to release me so an internal transfer isn’t possible at this time

Your best shot is probably switching to the other big 4 audit team then trying to get in to advisory there. Every big 4 has the same issue of a wait list of people trying to get into advisory.

Not weird, go for it

Do you have any connections at the other Big 4? I had considered switching at one point and reached out to contacts I knew there. They might be able to help get you in touch with someone

Not weird at all. Do it.

Do it, also look to see if you have any friends/college/colleagues who work at any of the big4 and reach out. Know what opp you want and why you are qualified for it. Many people forget that they have to do the leg work to get the referral, but if you come prepare most people will do it.
