Anyone here looking for an accounting manager in industry? I have five years of experience including regional firm, Big 4, and industry.

Who do you consider to be the highest achieving big 4 person you know (no need to name them obvs)? what about them stands out to you?

Has anyone made the transition from law to public accounting or tax in industry? Are you happier? I’ve been thinking about making such a move since there seems to be more remote opportunities in accounting. Advice or talk me off the ledge?

What are the possible exit opps., from consulting & analytics roles in SaaS companies like Kinaxis, Llamasoft, BlueYonder etc.?

1. Looking for a mix of analytics & strategy opportunities
2. How difficult is switching from SaaS based company to industry (CPG/Retail/Manfg.) for strategy roles? I believe switching would be easy from consulting (big 4/chainalytics etc boutique firms) as compared from software based. Correct me if wrong.

What a typical % base bump from M to SM at Big 4 FS consulting?

Know this is a long shot, but if I’m counseled out of one MBB, what are the chances I could get an equivalent job at another? And if not another MBB, thinking that a T2 or B4 could be possible? I’m not even sure I want to stay in consulting, but also feel like I didn’t get a fair shot at it

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Got an offer from pwc in the data privacy role.
With 13.5 Lpa currently i’m at 12 and made switch on march.
Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

Can anyone let me know the benefits at Accenture?

I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?

Feels like I’m about to get fired.
