Thinking of switching to a Big 4 largely due to the maternity benefits.. my current company only has STD, and I know I'd make a good bit more money at a Big 4 in forensics. Would it be worth it?

EY has I think 16 weeks off or something really good, both men and women take it and I appreciate everyone pushing people to take the full benefits.

16 and can tack on 3’weeks of vacation if you want. Incredibly valuable benefit and everyone takes it!

Always worth it to get into Big 4. Great benefits, plus the added bonus of beefing up your resume. Go for it!

Totally worth it. The benefits have been incredible for me, and I was able to take 16 weeks off when my daughter was born. It's so nice not to be stressed about getting back to work.

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
