PwC’s contractor program is called Flexible Talent Network. Do the other Big 4 have contractor setups? What are the names so I can research? Interested in downshifting my career.

Thank you!

Just curious for those downshifting - do you still get compensated enough to cover benefits such as insurance, time-off?

Haven’t looked into it yet, but my husband makes enough. I’m an SM in tax making like 200 and he makes more and his job has awesome health benefits. We don’t live lavishly. Our biggest expense is child care, which would be less if I wasn’t working. I’m just sick pf the grind, working 80 per week with bad staff who cant be held accountable. And in busy season I’d get overtime.

If I could do equivalent of senior manager job for 200/hr for 25 hours per week thats 5k per week.

Plus I’m also a lawyer, so I’f probably try and get contract jobs at firms too. My specialty always seems to need people. So trying to figure out how to swing it. I guess I’d be walking away from retirement contributions etc, but my kids are young now anta more important to have the time with them.

I’ve spent 4 years in Big 4, with about half that time in FDD. I feel like Corp Dev is what I ultimately want, but am wondering if a stint in banking could be worth it. If I’m not interested in PE or other buyside alternatives, is the pit stop in IB worth it?
Mainly wonder if IB is a must have box to check, or if you can work your way up the ladder without.
