What are the benefits of being a partner at a big4?

Just seems like a lot of work and stress for a salary you could get in industry where you also don't have restrictions on stock purchases...

Very few. Used to mean prestige back in the days when Facebook was considered a “fad.” Now it’s a career path for guys who couldn’t make it in tech

Lol. Partners still make more than a vast majority of people working in Tech, it just takes a while to get there.

What does that have to do with anything? The question was asking why be a B4 partner. I say there is no reason to subject yourself to that grind when you can make just as much with better hours and no scrutiny on your stock trades in tech.

Well for one thing job security

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
