Wow. I just knew that big 4 consists of GS, PwC, KPMG, and E&Y...
GS is not part of the Big 4. Big 4 refers to the four accounting/professional services firms: PwC, KPMG, EY, and Deloitte.
The big 4 should have some IT work for you. But mis isnt a great major. There r posts about mis which shows why mis isnt a great major.
If you want to find the "perfect match" role for your degree, you can consider Information System Assurance. In PwC the role is called " Risk Control Solution", in E&Y it's called "ITRA".
In PwC it's part of their Risk Assurance practice. Information Technology & Project assurance is one of the larger sub branches as it is mostly consultative in nature.
CIS - worth it? (Originally Posted: 12/17/2012)
I currently attend a semi-target school, and don't know whether or not to pursue an undergrad degree in CIS or Finance. I've taken introductory courses to both, and both seem very appealing, so it's not really a matter of which interests me more. Honestly, I just want to go where the money is, and I suppose my question is if CIS is really worth it. I do like working with technology, and that really is the reason why I am a leaning a little more toward CIS. However, I have heard that CIS majors don't really get good job offers after graduation, and have a tough time making a good living. I've heard its practically a "watered-down CS degree", and therefore does not mean much. Also, if everything goes the way I plan, I'd like to go for an MBA if I can get into a top-20 school. Would either major make a big difference in my MBA? I would like to have a concentration in information systems as well, so would an undergrad in CIS be preferable? None of these arguments exist for Finance, that's why if CIS is really that unreliable I'd major in that. Also if I did have an undergrad degree in Finance, would an MBA concentrated in Information Systems necessarily be worse than a standard MBA, or would a MS in Finance be preferable?
First tip since you're new, don't ask 87 questions in your first post....people usually just ignore it. Ask more concentrated open-ended questions that will get you a good answer.
If you're going where the money is good then that's an idiotic way to see things. You'll truly regret just "going where the money it"...and people just don't say that too sound wise, it is very true. If you can't decide between the two then you need to spend more time trying to figure it out. As far as the MBA is concerned, I don't think either majors will matter much directly but will indirectly; MBA admissions are holistic in nature for the most part so many things make up a good application but your first job out of college will be a major factor. Make sure you choose a major that will lead you to a career you can truly find to be fulfilling.
Unless you have a deep rooted goal in life that would be achieved through CIS specifically, there’s no point in taking CIS. A person with a major in computer science and minor in business analytics has a better chance in getting hired into the big 4 or any tech company. Also Before jumping into planning your MBA first see if you really like CIS/Finance by majoring in your best choice and minoring in the other. I would recommend finance as a major and cis as a minor (my opinion)
