Hey James - CourseCareers sent an email about a paid partnership. Did you get a chance to read it yet?

Helpful video! Thanks

Hello - Thank you for the valuable info sharing - great video!! the link to the Big 4 exit opportunity cheat sheet doesn't work though?

Deloitte is worst

Would there be similar exit opportunities from working at a mid tier firm like GT

The BGM is so annoying. With the information I need to process, I find it annoying to first filter it thru the music and then process the info. Is this how the info disseminated in the big 4?

EY is the best firm to have exceptional lifetime experience. This is from someone who spent 25+ of has life with EY and still continuing : )

Does digital audit differ from audit career path?

How many hours a week would an audit work on average at a big 4

Thanks for the insights. You are a life saver mate. How do I access your Partner Cheat Sheet, the link takes me to signup up for some marketing funnel.

Irrelevant video. You apply to all of them and get into whatever you get into

"I'm not a communist, I'm a socialist" Ha ha ha. Dude , doesn't have any essential differences. A communist dressed in a Lister suit and wearing Italian shoes is a socialist. :)

Deloitte is great and all but if get on thr wrong side of some people you are done , no matter how good of a employee you are . Work doesn't matter visibility matters more.

Here is the true answer to the question of the best big 4? It's the one that you get the best opportunity from. To many they view Deloitte as the Best and KPMG at the bottom. If you are at Deloitte and its your second year and all you have done is put together PBC lists and TPS reports and then move to KPMG and get to work on a project that you learn specialized technical skills, lead a project or whatever your career goals are then KPMG is the best. Part of it is luck to on the managers and partners you work with and if they help propel your career. This is the number one consideration people should take into account when thinking about this.

I am not target these organisations..... I need work life balance this is my priority right now...

What do you make of m&a at big 4? Do you know anyone that has done that and whats their experience there?

What if I have 3 years at big 4 and not done with ACCA... would I still get good exit opportunities?

the commercial awareness and the career ambitions portion were really helpful.

Not enough actualization at the Big 4 for you. It is interesting to listen to you.

Thank you.

James! I just land a job at EY Consulting, thanks to your video. You are a true savior:)

I wish I had this video to watch when I started in pwc audit 10 years ago. I for one didn’t get early promoted (but no one made manager in just 4 years in NYC either). I did 6 years to become a manager (oppose to 5 years as early promotion for pwc US in the past) even tho I was super smart and responsible and hard working. Unfortunately, just like any other big companies, politics is important. I was a little bit unlucky (got staffed on the wrong jobs to get early promotion) and I didn’t play the politics at all (which I should have. Finding a sponsor is really important). However, I’m still grateful for my time at pwc because without that training, I wouldn’t have become who I am today. Today outside of housing and necessities, the amount I’m able to save post tax is already > what I made as a senior manager in audit in a year before tax. That 10k pre tax diff in total annual comp from early promotion, that I dearly cared so much, now seems so silly lollll

They all the same… says someone who worked at pwc for 8 years. More than willing to hire someone from any of these firms.and they’re all so large that culture is more dependent on your group or team

great video

Thanks for the advice James! I was wondering if doing courses on AI and Metaverse from coursera would be good on the resume as a Bachelor graduate?

Hey man, the PDF is not sending to me

I have my assessment centre in 3 days. Would you say they are less likely to want you if you stutter. I don’t have a stutter but when nervous tend to struggle to say words. Think I can do all the points said in the video just may go umm some of the time. Although I will try to stop this as much as I can by knowing what I want to say before saying it

you joined a big 4 and now only make 100k? for all those long hours. where do you live?

Hi James, love the content. Do these exit opportunities also apply to BDO?

Fantastic James, my daughter has just got a graduate job at Deloitte Manchester, starting in September. All your advice is clear and precise, and of course really appreciated. Thanks again, a proud dad.

Hello James, given the pay rises in 2022, what would the approximate salary be for a first year tax associate in Birmingham. One of my friends makes £34k for audit, based in London tho, so how much lower would the salary be in Birmingham compared to that? Thanks, Mitran

Great video! Any link to that watch please?

Hmmm, ok so why so many big 4 managers are toxic people that causes consultants burnout ?? Team first ??? Big bullshit !!Selfish and ass lickers personality will be the best way to be manager in this kind of companies….
