Really curious to know if all big 4 a relatively uniform in terms of the extended holiday breaks in summer and winter. EY has one week off for July 4th and one week off for Christmas/Winter Holidays - is it the same for the other 3? Curious because I wonder if work culture plays into it.

Hello All,
Is Atos better than Concentrix Catalyst ?

I am supposed to join Atos in July.

I got offers from PragerM, UHY, and PKF. I think I made my decision but wanted to see if anyone had any insight of them. Would you not choose one for one reason or another? Or is there one that stands out and would jump on immediately? Thanks all.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
