Just my experience, but I’ve been with two Big 4 firms both internally and in Advisory, and the expectation has always been 40-45 hours during normal times, and like 50-55 (maybeeee 60) during our busiest times. 100+ hour weeks are for investment bankers, if you’re working those hours anyway then go and get a better paycheck for the work!
Apr 08, 2016 · Lots of admin work like billing, setting up meetings, and requesting documents. 3. Commuting between different clients and workplaces. 4. Lots of internal politics. 5. Priorities of your firm and group change all the time as leadership changes frequently. This is a brief outline of what to expect in the Big 4 as an associate.
Matched with a girl on tinder today who’s profile said she was an adult content creator. So I hit her with a “Hey! We have a lot in common! I’m actually in public accounting, so I too get fucked for a living.”
I have no idea why you would want to be a senior manager in public accounting- UNLESS: you really think you are going to be partner.
I just saw I got booked for 93 hours one week, split between two clients Please tell me this is a joke lmao
I am looking for advice but I'm starting to feel like a lost cause. I just started big 4 recently and I've been given 3 client files during my first week, where my training did not finish until week 3 (this week).
A rejection email came in today and it is unfortunate that I didn't make it after the final round of interview with the Partner for a Summer internship role. I thought the interview went well considering that the Partner didn't have any questions for me and he seemed like he just wanted to get to know me.
So I'm expected to join Deloitte as a Senior. I have no prior big4 experience and my experience comes from industry. What can I expect and what do they expect of me?
I’ll be interning at PwC this summer within their DAT practice and then potentially another big 10 firm in the fall for the same thing. Just curious, other than the monotony, why does most of this sub hate IT audit?
When you think of flexible, you think of working smarter and not harder. Well be careful if you think you can work less because you would defy the basic principle of increasing the number of hours worked. This means that you have to observe your superiors and learn their working styles.
Internal politics means that you will be doing all the work while your senior and managers take credit for your work. Additionally, since the firms have made it seem like you matter so much, you will wonder why no one pays attention to you in the day to day hustle. The firms can be condescending and hypocritical.
Working is tough in general. Working at the Big 4 can be even tougher, but that does not mean that all workplaces are better than the Big 4. If you are motivated and hard working, then the Big 4 can be the place that you belong. You will just have to get used to the strengths and weaknesses of the Big 4.
This means that you will still have to work a ton of hours. The Big 4 firms try to increase the number of hours by making people work a lot of hours and hiring tons of people.
The firms can be condescending and hypocritical. Understand that and get over it if you want to be successful. If you learn to set expectations before you start, you can succeed. What many of your peers will do is switch groups or switch jobs thinking that the grass is greener somewhere else.
