Should I jump from B4 to Embark? Anyone heard of Embark before?

I’m in my 2nd year in audit. I want to pivot into management consulting within a big 4 or MBB. Has anyone seen someone make this lateral movement? I’m not sure how feasible that is and what steps to take. I’m also down to discuss further with whoever is comfortable in connecting.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Hi guys,

How's ZS Risk and IT compliance team ? How is the work life balance and work culture?

How much can I ask for ?

Currently working in a Big 4 having 2.5 years of work experience.

Current CTC : 6LPA

Any update on this front is highly appreciated.

Have interviewed big 4 company and got a offer around 25% bump and expecting better assignments than current firm. The partner in my practice reached out and is doing everything he can to make me stay

What are base salaries at for B4 M1s in FDD now?

Any one who's worked at Big 4 and ZS. How has your experience been ? Could you give a sort of comparison on it ?

For those in big 4, how much time between accepting an offer and start date have you been able to ask for? Is a month feasible/how should one phrase it? Two weeks just doesn’t feel like enough with this heavy burnout/having to wrap up deals at old firm

Need some guidance. Here is my situation:
1. Just transferred to big 4 FDD as snr from big4 audit (~a month ago, with no deal yet under my belt)
2. Studying for fmva certification
3. 1+ year plan is to take the GMAT & apply to ivy league mba program. Planning to break into IB and then PE later.
4. Got approach recently by a recruiter from Houlihan Lokey (HL) for an associate position in the Midwest. Comp range 120k -130k. I make about 100k now.
- Is the move going to be worth it? what'd you do

Any experienced senior managers that have moved between Big 4 firms? Can you speak towards your experience, any struggles, and opportunities in terms of partner promotion?

Appreciate the input.

I’m looking to exit B4 audit to transfer to B4 FDD/TAS. Has anyone made this move? Advice for interviews? I am not a CPA, however would consider pursuing my CFA. Is there a license requirement to make manager at the B4?

Let’s start a comp discussion on post covid salaries and level - couldn’t find anything interesting on Reddit:
1) practice (audit/ advisory / tax)
2) firm
3) Level (Senior Associate II, Manager year 1 etc..)
4) salary (base & comp)
5) location ( NYC / Boston / SF)

How do I actually go about giving 2 weeks notice?

studied for my CPA and didnt focus on much else. Passed when the pandemic hit. Now have been struggling to meet people in my city. Any tips?

Is CMA worth getting after getting the CPA? Or is it better to get the CFA. Also don’t have much finance background so I don’t know if I can pass the CFA will require a lot of hard work. Interesting in hearing people’s thoughts.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?

We stay until 8 or 9 everyday and then at the end of every week my manager tells me to book only 40 hours. It sucks ass and now I have to explain to my counselor why my utilization is so pedestrian...
