What kind of leverage does having Big4 on your resume TRULY give you when applying to a big name job industry job? Anyone have any experience moving from Big4 to a tech/social media/other company? Open to roles that aren’t necessarily senior tax, such as financial analyst/operations/accountant/etc.

It gave me massive leverage in 2 of my interviews. In others, it got me in the door and past the resume/phone screen, but after that it was just a side note. Just depends.

Pretty much required if you want to be at those big tech companies.

When I did the interviews, they asked me to go over my resume line by line or to share the detailed experience at big4. They valued your big4 or PA experience, but if you are looking for something totally different, I doubt it would work. All the best.

Thanks for the insight! I’ve been applying to a lot of career pages for local industry jobs (my experience with recruiters has been eh so far), and I wanted to see how much harder it is to get a foot in the door for bigger industry jobs that I’m more interested in

I asked the recruiter how in depth they are expecting me to to go and she said “as much as I’d like to. It’s up to me and what I see fit.” Does this ask seem reasonable? Have others experienced this?
