When is it time to leave your Big 4 firm? Been with mine for 2.5 years - right out of college. Is this too long? Am I missing out on money to be made somewhere else?

which is the higher priority, technical or business acumen - if my goal is to develop into a high-ranking Big 4 or MBB leader?

Does anyone feel like these cryptos and short term real time pump and jump investments come at emotional and psychological cost? Money looks too easy and it gets frustrating when you just sold something that has been stagnant for days and the moment you sell it just skyrockets etc. just curious

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Is it wrong/bad to accept a job offer for a position which you have gone through the interview process for that requires 2 more years of experience than you currently have? It is for SC at B4. I just recently became C.

If I didn’t have a wife and kids, I totally would’ve just quit and bought a cabin in Alaska and lived off of Busch light, Evan Williams, Ramen Noodles, and whatever I can hunt. Money ain’t worth this.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Are companies looking to hire more minorities and people who identify as LGBTQ+? I saw a post about a job listing for a Big 4 and it said it had a strong preference for people who identify as LGBTQ+ or a minority racial group. Does this mean they have a higher chance of getting the job? Not trying to start any political debates, I’m just generally curious.

When you talk in American accent with recruiters, do they still ask “if you need visa sponsorship”? Can any recruiter chime in please? Are they trained to tell if anyone is potentially “international” candidate, hence asking the question selectively at their discretion?

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.
