Which firms have the best tech/software?
What is Big 4 ranking in terms of tech?
How about local firms?

My laptop always crashes because it cant handle the software we use. Im on 3rd laptop.


Looking at making the jump, have offers from all the B4 and a few locals. Currrent tech is my biggest stressor and sometimes losing hours worth of work just ruins my day/week.

Primarily focused on Private Equity, and HNW.

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?
