What are chances of getting into advisory at a top 10 firm? I have 5 years of audit experience at local cpa firms, made it to supervisor. Before that, 1 year of corporate accounting experience at a small manufacturing company. Would like to make the switch, not sure if it's possible.

If you interview well and know what you're talking about in your chosen domain, your chances are high. Working at smaller clients give your broader, end-to-end perspective than many who worked on big clients auditing only cash their entire first year. Valuable perspective...

Working at a big firm for bigger clients is also valuable - get to see advantages of scale and working on more complex topics.

Anyway - if you know your stuff and can handle the pressure of interviews (and sales situations) you'll be absolutely fine

If you’re not anchored to one industry, where that expertise creates consulting value, you may need to do some skill stacking— coding, data modeling, etc.

Your easiest path would be through deal advisory at a public accounting firm, pivot to a broader advisory role from there.
