Thinking about switching from mid-level firm to Big 4 or Top 8 firm for better clients and public accounting exit opportunities. Which of the Big 4 actually stands behind and puts action behind its “Diversity & Inclusion initiatives?” Thinking about LA or the West Coast region in general I’m tired of feeling the only or the spokesperson for all Blacks at my current firm lol

@BDO 1 and @Deloitte 1, I’m open to both. Which industries do you guys typically serve on the west? Also what’s the WLB looking like? I’ve been remote since before the pandemic. Are you guys back in the office and/or at clients?

I’ve heard good things about Deloitte. I wouldn’t recommend PwC.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
