Who moved from BDO to Deloitte recently? I have the senior offer from Deloitte but I’m hesitating on whether it will be a challenging transition. I’m first year senior at BDO, any insights?

I'm sure it varies by office but hearing from coworkers who have worked there, people who work there, having interviewed there, and having worked extensively who worked at Deloitte (former boss from multiple internships, coworkers, classmates) the culture is toxic. I know it's a generalized statement and possibly unfair and aggressive but I would make sure to understand the office culture there.

I can 100% vouch for this. It is terribly toxic and I've only been there as an experienced hire for 7-8 months. Definitely be aware of the office culture. I have a good amount of colleagues who agree silently as well.

Worked there for many years and culture was toxic in my office. Great training lots of talent but culture so much better at KPMG. Find out more about the particular office and group as that is the key. Do recommend you try b4 though as you will learn so much. Recommend posting what office and what group (not the individual practice) and see what input you get.

Haven’t heard anything negative about that particular area. If you like the people you will be working with, go for it. Hard to beat b4 experience and b4 on your resume.

It will be tough but you can always go back when things don’t go well. But With salary bumps. So go for it.

I have found smaller firms to be a lot more stressful than b4 firms to be honest.

Deloitte 1... I’ve spent time @ B 4 and regional. Bosses force the same mistakes (low budgets) into engagements in both forms. At B4, when we say all hands on deck to finish, we have the resources to actually do a decent job. @BDO, they sent me a 55 yo lifetime senior who left at 5 to “pick up” her grown ass son from work. BDO Tech is still better than EY tho

Everyone has different opinions I suppose but I have never heard of the toxic culture at Deloitte that others are referencing. Been here 4 years and it’s been the best decision of my life

I’m in tax, but I guess it would depend on what office you’re in.

If you’re a new senior, I would make the move to jump parallel just for the nice pay bump honestly. Realign you’re salary to the market, get b4 on resume, great resources, sounds like a win win situation. If you hate it, can always go back

Does Deloitte pay for your phone? Student loans?

I came from a smaller firm to Deloitte. It’s been a pretty good experience honestly 🤷‍♂️

Don’t know why any of the other big4 would be any different. But yes, office location is everything so it highly depends on your specific location.

Go for it....YOLO

I went from EY Risk Advisory to BDO for a year before boomeranging back. The pacing and workload is different at BDO (less intense), but you’re expected to be much more independent. I can say that you would be facing with adjusting to a faster work pace at Deloitte, but the managerial skills you developed at BDO would help ease the transition.
