What is a good site/company to look into if I want to get into audit contracting /seasonal. CPA, NYC, National firm

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?

Is it worth it to make managing director at a Big Four firm?

Would you take a freelance gig that would be a promotion (with potential to join full time) with a smaller company whose values you really agree with, OR a full-time offer for a lateral move with a larger company with teammates you know and trust? Of course factoring in all the nuances of covid. TIA!

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Would love to hear thoughts on best approach of you are a senior associate at V10 firm.
