Serious question, why all the jokes about KPMG? My colleagues are leaving Deloitte and joining KPMG for the better pay and culture. I’m thinking about applying too but I’m afraid I’m missing something? Deloitte KPMG

Yeah, just a meme, but seriously, as ex Deloitte, I am LOVING KPMG so far. So much more chill, I am given more autonomy even early in my career, not to mention that sweet 50% raise.

Yeah, I’m personally hoping to hit manager and either leave for industry or hangout at manager for a while, I have absolutely no desire for sales.

External hire into the K: best comment here was we don’t take ourselves as seriously. Big 4 vs professional service firm ad-large ultimately isn’t all that different for most people who aren’t making a home in one shop.

Omg yes! Believe me, it’s not easy being on a project where I’m the only one who sees a bigger point to life than work. You should have seen the nasty looks I got when I had the audacity to say that I wasnt working through the weekend. Mind you, there was nothing really going on.

Funny how I also hear the exact same the other way from people who have left KPMG to come to Deloitte, (i.e., the culture at KPMG was awful, I was stifled, I wasn't happy, etc.). Grass is always greener...everyone's feedback is very personal to them. So just because a set number of people were unhappy in one place, doesn't mean it's the same for your own personal experience. People have to figure out what they value and not just follow someone else's experience hoping it will be the same for them.

We’re the smallest of the Big 4 and 5 years ago had a ton of scandals on the audit side.

Now EY just had Wirecard, and PwC is getting worse reports from the PCAOB than us, but it takes a while to move past a scandal.

EY’s doing their best to help us move past it with Wirecard and unlimited PTO, so that’s awfully nice of them.

KPMG has been great at times, and miserable at times. But my team that I work with are amazing people. And if it wasn’t for them. I’d have left a long time ago. And can’t say the grass would be greener on the other side. I feel it would be the same wherever I go unless I go to a small company.
