I'd just apply to all firms and go to the one with the best fit and comp. I would choose a lot of boutiques over MBB, many specialise in really interesting areas and pay more as well

All firms have good and bad work but the reality is that top firms have greater access to bigger and better opportunities.

Furthermore, any firm will promise the moon and stars to get the best talent but understand that B4 and MBB will provide access and collateral that T2 can’t.

T2? Just go down the list

Yeah I’m trying to find out how the T2 tank in terms of desireability. The rankings are all over.

So EY risk advisory service is not T2 ?

Why would anyone in a top business school seek a T2 firm?

I’ve met plenty of people with MBAs from HSW, M7, top public policy and STEM grad degrees at D. Despite that, it’s not about the name — I enjoyed working for my boutique as much/if not more than D and no one knew or cared about the firm. You’ll eventually grow out the names and value signaling once you find balance.

I wonder if there are boutique firms that are competitive/“desirable”—I would assume so ?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
