Advisory


I would say do a good bit of homework on what the group actually does, and more importantly, what exit opportunities will be readily available to you after a couple years with the firm. Unfortunately, most people who work B4 are not looking to stick around for the long haul, so my suggestion would be to evaluate this potential move by evaluating your potential move thereafter.

Advice taken. Thank you. That’s my next step. I saw in researching that all of the big 4 have hired tens of thousands, most upwards of 50k in the last year. That doesn’t jive with organic revenue growth so my assumption is a good bit of that is due to turnover. Maybe that turnover is somewhat good as many probably left for better positions at another big 4 firm or an even better position outside of the big 4. I’m sure a lot also was burnout and not being the right fit for the worker. I agree an exit plan is necessary as, at minimum, a precaution.

This is true. Most move to a regional/divisional controller role at a corporation. With that said, because of the high turnover, if you can stick it out, partner track is VERY short compared to other industries.
