My friend has received 2 offers from EY and PwC to work as Audit Associate and after given her my opinion, she's not satisfied. Can BIG 4 professionals help her to decide?

With all the potential crap that’s about to go down at EY, definitely PwC

The upside exists for EY audit. They are going to be very aggressive competing against the spin off firm for certain tax services. I’d not be so quick to dismiss them as they will have to be very aggressive in comp to make sure they are staffed up on Day 1.

Worst case is it turns out to be a cluster and you take a job elsewhere

If she doesn't value your opinion, let her make her own choice

likefunny

That's true. LoL

Either one will have the name recognition that will help build a good resume. Assuming the same practice the two factors I would consider are pay and how much you liked the people you met during the interview process. Culture depends a lot on location so it’s hard to say without know the location/ practice she is considering

Thanks. EY's offer is $4,000 more than what PwC has given to my friend and the position is Audit Associate.

Go with the firm that will pay her more and put her on clients she’s more interested in. There’s not going to be a lot of difference for audit in terms of actual work done and exit opportunities between the two firms

Why isn't she satisfied? She doesn't trust your judgment at all? Lol. If that's the case, let her make the choice.

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.

Don’t want to think the grass is always greener on the other side, but I’ve seen so many people made the move to EY from other big 4 and they make much more than I do because of the switch (same city same service line same level).
