Thoughts on going from b4 to Mazars? Audit, SM. 15% raise and partner outlook in significantly shorter time. Anyone else went from b4 to smaller firm in exchange for shorter path to partner?

This is the way.

I went from Pwc to rsm and had the complete opposite experience. They have made significant improvements to their training. And this year unlike others had raises provided. At Pwc felt like I always had to worry if someone would throw me under the bus. My experience at rsm is more a team experience and I feel my opinion matters.

I did ask. They said no. I paid for a hotel myself.

I went from pwc to RSM. It was not a good move. They “like” Big4 but then don’t want to work like Big4. Very short term focused on personal profitability and not investing in people.

Um....trust me, it happened. They basically forced her into a flexible work arrangement. This was 8 or so years ago so hopefully they’ve grown some sense since then, but it definitely happened.

Do it! Mazars is amazing! ☺️

15 % seems low. How many years as SM?

This would be the jump from M to SM. Actual is 35% raise but in current firm I would probably get 15-20 ish in any case so the 15 is the difference
