Will moving to a smaller company from B4 impact my career as such in the long run? Especially a company which is still growing and has only 150 employees at this moment. It’s not widely known in the market. But, it is growing at a fast pace in the last couple of years.

From a work culture perspective, this company offers a lot of flexibility, emphasizes on wlb and employee satisfaction. Been wanting to get out of the toxic B4 work environment. I don’t want to make a hasty decision and regret.

Went to a boutique 2 years ago and not regretting it at all. WLB actually exists.

Left big 4 for a smaller consulting firm and it has been one of the best decisions that I have made. Make sure that leadership is strong and the team that you’ll be working with doesn’t have the same qualities as the teams that you’re trying to get away from. We’ve had people exit to FAANG and other impressive companies despite coming from a place with a smaller brand than big4

Hi anyone working in BDO RISE LLP FS AWM sector- if yes, please let me know how is the work pressure and culture

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

Also comp isn't really the main factor, but keen to know if anyone has any info on what the typical range is for bonuses at McKinsey as they didn't put that in the offer letter.
