When does big 4 recruiting really pick up for next year?

I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards? Can I keep progressing in the standard ladder and keep doing implementations, or is it automatically going to end up becoming more are more sales oriented and less actual implementation work? Especially interested in the SM level and above. I’d prefer staying at Big 4 and avoid the supplier side.

What's a median salary (considering all US employees) for big 4, Accenture, MBB and FAANG? Is 200k for big 4/ACN, 300K for MBB, 400k for FAANG a good ball park estimate?

What are the main reasons why you would recommend going big 4 instead of MBB? Have any of you successfully swayed a candidate to go big 4 instead of MBB?

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Looking for advice. I have a few offers in negotiations for Senior IT audit role. My main motive is to get out of toxic work culture in B4 consulting and public accounting. Looking for better wlb, better work culture and decent compensation to make good living. Currently in TX making around 110K TC.

1. Children’s Place: Base-110K . Probable bonus of 3-5%. No relocation assistance or sign on bonus. Based in NJ. Location is closer to all my friends and family

Is FDD WLB better at MM PA firm than B4? ( GT, BDO, RSM)

6 years of experience with couple of years of Big 4 experience and making 92K in NY; Taking into consideration the current inflation and Great Resignation - how much should I negotiate as an AVP/Sr Analyst for a bank like Citi?

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

Better Opportunity: Big 4 marketing or brand management? Long term outlook, pay etc

Hey all. I have an interview with an investment bank coming up. I am currently a senior associate at big 4 doing financial due diligence. Can anyone give me interviews tips/what to study? I am very new to the diligence (less than 3 months), so am far from understanding a deal start to finish.

What are the average age brackets at Big 4 to be a Con, Senior Con, Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Partner? Keen for people’s perspectives.

Hello folks,

Need some advice on the following situation I am currently in:
I have an offer from PwC India and will likely get one from EY India also (similar ctc). At the same time, Cognizant is willing to match these offers. The only difference is I will be a consultant at Cognizant and a senior associate at PwC.
I understand wlb will be screwed at either of those big 4 and clients will be India based.
Which of these should I choose?

This is all for technology consulting as I am an MBA

Laterals to Deloitte Cyber from other B4: Can you describe your interview process and what each one entailed? TIA!

Would love referral for B4 or PA in Chicago? Industry and Internal Audit exp here, CPA.

I’ve spent 4 years in Big 4, with about half that time in FDD. I feel like Corp Dev is what I ultimately want, but am wondering if a stint in banking could be worth it. If I’m not interested in PE or other buyside alternatives, is the pit stop in IB worth it?
Mainly wonder if IB is a must have box to check, or if you can work your way up the ladder without.

Anyone have a referral for a forensic accountant roll for an Audit senior at another B4 looking for a change?

Anybody moved to BDO from Big 4? How does it compare? Any significant differences? Other than name

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response. Is this white flag territory or is there still hope? And if it’s the ladder is there anything I can do to speed up the process or is it just a waiting game.

I'm 42 years old with 18 yrs exp in IT/ITES sector. Now working for HCL, E2 level, domino admin projects, and CTC only 13LPA which is very low compared to outside. Catch is 90 days NP. Want to move out for atleast 20LPA. Pls advice?
I have cross-skilled in azure administration, but companies not shortlisting my profile may be due to high experience

Can someone provide a referral at Honeywell? Would be a great help!

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
