This is a shit comparison. Enron scandal was blatant misrepresentation with layers upon layer of review. This is an honest mistake. Very very very different

you have completely missed the point K1. when reputation of our type of firm is compromised, it's a slippery slope regardless of the reason. Enron was originally shrugged of as just Arthur A's problem....until it became a shitstorm that impacted the entire industry.

There are none that will impact all of us. And that's the point as to why you're a n00b in consulting. Go read up on the shit D has been involved in, we were banned from consulting for banks, fucked up ACA roll outs etc. Nothing happened. So chill son. Enjoy the moment where you aren't the one who fucked up.

since K1 and ey1 is so smart, provide a better example of a mistake of one big 4 firm that can potentially impact the reputation of the rest of us. the Enron case is the only one that I know of in recent history.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
