Should I leave Fortune 500 for big4 experience? Out of college, I got a nice industry for IT audit with a nice pay, it’s been 3 years and I’m struggling to find new opportunities for career growth. I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs and no luck. Would it be smart to work at Big4 for a while in hopes of finding a better industry job?

I would stick around for a little while longer. The market for big 4 isn't great and, in some cities, they are on a hiring freeze. You might not learn as much at the big 4 than you would in industry, but it will be helpful for advancement.

Thanks for the advice, are you seeing coworkers also struggling to leave big4 into industry. From what I’ve heard, people with big4 experience always have the uppercut when applying to industry roles, do you think that has changed?

It’s every where man. I’m in BiG 4 now.. the job market isn’t funny tryna leave too but haven’t found anything. I’m done for the year. I’ll try again in January/ February

What industry are you currently in and what geo? Some big4 offices have more capacity than others. In general, if there’s no open req, then that office isn’t hiring.

Working in the tech industry in the US, I do have connections for a senior role but not sure if that’s the right move.

E y and deloitte maybe you can hug it out
