Hey everyone! I’m excited to be starting a BSc in Business/Management this year at a semi-target UK university (think Bath, Bristol, Durham, KCL). Over the past year, I’ve developed a strong interest in consulting—especially MBB in London—and I’m now committed to pursuing that path. I know...

I have a tech risk consulting role at big4 in a no state tax and a perspective GS risk analyst role in NYC. I have a tech background and want to work to make IB figures without being in IB. Like maybe MBB consulting or strategy in FAANG. What offer should i take? If tech risk @ big 4 – what are...

Currently working in transaction services at a big 4 (financial due diligence) in one of the nordic capitals. I am debating whether or not it would be worth it to pursue a master's degree in the UK or at another top school in Europe (HEC, HSG, Bocconi). The aim would be to secure a spot in...

Struggling getting any sort of traction from applications (rarely any first round calls, just straight silence or rejection emails a few days later) - I'm trying to move from big 4 audit to corporate finance roles (M&A Advisory/Valuations/Transaction Diligence). Australia based (Sydney) hence may...

PwC came on my campus yesterday (target) for a Strategy& info session and recruiting promotion. The recruiter there stated that the deadlines for their consulting positions is February 19, but I can't seem to find comprehensive internship postings on the PwC website. On the job listings, the open...

Currently a junior at semi target, 3.7, 2 boutique IB internships, 1 startup, and 1 BD internship Just received a junior internship role at a Big 4 in capital markets accounting advisory in NYC after unsuccessfully recruiting for IB last year. It is an accounting role at its core, while working on...

Just to clarify, this is purely a hypothetical question, not a personal situation. The reality is that most analysts are neither stars nor disasters—they're just average. If someone joined a Big 4 MM hedge fund out of college, performed consistently mediocre for 3-8 years (not a blow-up risk, but...

Hi everyone, Having trouble deciding if I want to stay at a small HF as a quant or take my Big 4 Tech Consulting offer.

Hey, I am in a dilemma as recently I got two internship offers and I cannot decide.

I have an offer for a big-4 regional office, but I'm also interviewing for other audit firms including one just outside the big 4 and two others a bit further down the rankings. In terms of exit opportunities outside of audit, is it worth ignoring the interviews and just taking the big 4 offer? I'm...

Basking in Big 4 paradise! I've received full-time offers for Deloitte Tech Consulting and EY FSO (Financial Services) Business Transformation in the same city. My goal is to break into strategy at MBB - understandably, doing implementation work at either of the firms would make this difficult. I'm...

Navigating Career Choices: Big 4 Audit vs. Schroders Wealth Management As a recent graduate about to start an audit role at one of the Big Four, I’ve had mixed feelings about the position. Initially, I was skeptical due to the stories I’ve heard about the job and the salary. My passion has...

I'm a 4th year (senior) student at a target university in Canada, and I've been focused on breaking into IB for a while now. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to land a third year (junior) IB SA role, but I have secured a FT offer in a rotational program within the Deal / Financial Advisory department...

Hi all, I currently work at a Big4 (emerging country) in the deal advisory division and have been offered locally a project finance position at a top firm (HQ in a euro country).

Hello All, I've recently taken the first step toward my dream of breaking into IB/PE by moving to the UK.

I have a big four return offer in a tier 3 city (Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Pittsburgh) and am interested in consulting but I'm an engineer and don't know if MBB is possible because of GPA reasons.

Hey, I have two internships lined up this summer, a two month one in big 4 audit and a month long in a small enough fund where I’d be in equity research. I have the possibility to do a three month long internship in the fund, but don’t want to rescind my other offer so late as I only got the...

Hello, I'm applying for finance graduate programs and looking into EY's Strategy & Transactions group as one of my options. My ultimate goal is breaking in to PE/VC down the line but I'm also interested in moving to BB/EB IB as an intermediate stepping stone (yeah, I know the market isn't great...

I have received two offers for Big4 audit grad roles, one in London and the other in a London regional (such as Reading/Milton Keynes), however, I am unsure on which to accept. Ultimately, my goal would be to transfer to TAS/FDD/deals after the grad scheme. My main concerns are that, although London...

Hey guys, penultimate year math student from a semi target in the UK. I have summer internship offers from big 4 for audit and also from a fintech bank for credit risk, both which have suggested they will very likely offer me a grad job after if all goes well. However, I'm struggling to decide which...

I wrote to companies (in continental Europe) asking whether they are looking for intern. Amongst others, they wrote back to me from a BIG 4 and scheduled a phone interview. How should I prepare for it ? What should I even say ?

Hey there everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone here had some knowledge on FIU and how good it is for a student who is trying to get into Big 4 Audit/Tax, FDD, or Consulting.

I have 2 years of infra experience but I don't think my profile is good enough for IB/PE yet. Is Big 4 infra advisory a good springboard into IB/PE? What are my alternatives?

I started this fall. was a super conscientious student and got all my CPA exams done very early. cant...

Hi everyone, I go to a non target school and did a summer internship at PwC. Was given a return offer in tech consulting (think erp systems). I accepted the return offer for the summer 2024 internship. I am not interested in being siloed into a certain system and I am far more interested in...

My original goal when in undergrad was corporate banking (good pay, somewhat work/life balance). I landed a job in commercial banking at a regional bank after graduating - loved the environment but the company was small so the deal size and complexity weren't where I wanted. So I decided to go back...

Hello everyone, I've received two full-time offers—one from Big4 Consulting (not in the strategy arm like Parthenon/Monitor/Strategy&) for an entry-level position, and the other from a boutique management consulting firm for a more senior role. While the Big4 offer is enticing due to its...

Hi all, I am interested in pursuing a major in InfoSci (concentration data science) at the CALS school in Cornell. Was wondering what the employment opportunities are like in Banking (BB/EB) and Consulting(MBB/T2/Big4) from CALS InfoSci as the employment report for CALS was not very clear.

Friends, I have recently had my offer withdrawn for a non-strategy consulting role because the company is reducing the amount of work visas that they sponsor.

One of the universities that I applied to in Europe for undergrad has a lot of graduates working in big 4 consulting, especially Deloitte. A lot of people here have stated that it's better to start at a boutique firm (if you're from a non/semi-target) to break into MBB, however, my ultimate goal is...
