What are some non-CPA required positions at Big 4? I’ve accepted an internship (The service line technically falls under consulting, but it’s actually risk advisory work.) at a Big 4 next summer but I’ve been having second thoughts about going into accounting/advisory/etc. What types of positions are available at a Big 4 outside of these (I am more interested in getting an MBA or another Master’s degree.) and what would be the best way for me to ask to switch service lines? Thank you!

What’s the position? I don’t have much advise other than stay in consulting and avoid advisory and especially avoid IT risk consulting

If you are going to role up under consulting, why do you want to switch service lines?

I am working under business processes. I want to switch because I’m not interested in getting any of those certifications outside a Master’s.

Not sure. Maybe something in back-office/operations. What other types of roles are you interested in. Might make more sense to follow that path and see where it leads you rather than try to force your way into Big 4 if there's nothing there for you.
