Does any Big 4 FDD team have work?
I applied for some senior positions at AbbVie online 2 weeks ago. The status appears as “resume received” for some positions, status of one position appears as “under review” while another position shows “in progress”. Any idea how long their hiring team takes to get back following the application?

Recently Store Managers have been offering me jobs from different locations but same company in my town. The company is T-Mobile. It’s going to be my first job. I have a couple questions for any former/current employees. Is it better to work for T-Mobile, metro by T-Mobile, or a third party T-Mobile? Any difference in benefits or wage? Thanks

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

Why do you need any certifications if you want to leave public? If a certification will help you get the job you want or if it’s required then go for it, but otherwise I’d say put your energy elsewhere.

Figure out what you WANT to do prior to getting the certification. No use in wasting time getting a certification and not having it work in your favor down the road.
Go get a computer science masters
Comp Sci (really coding and all that) never really clicked with me. I liked discussing popular science and tech and took a course on some of the social dilemmas with technology and advancement, but getting into finer things like programming never really worked.
In the same position. Don’t even want another certification but I’ve been in study/grind mode for so long it feels like I should parlay it into another good use of my time

I don’t think a CFA is that helpful unless you’re already in a finance type role. An MBA is only worth it if you know what you want to use it for, and if it’s from a top school. MBAs from non target schools are not worth it from an ROI perspective. Honestly if you don’t know what you want to do take a year to figure it out. Don’t stress out you have time
This question is way too broad. It depends entirely on what you want to do. Makes it sound like you want the credential just to have it. No one cares if you have 5 acronyms after your name if they aren’t relevant to your profession.
CFA has always been my thought. Unless you want broader pivot options then I would say MBA
Think about what you want to get into before choosing CFA vs MBA. MBA is also more expensive and cannot be done part time as easily. CFA seems more prestigious but not a must for most jobs.
What? A top 10 MBA is way more prestigious.
