I am being interviewed for a partner role at a big 4. Could you please elaborate on the "professional exams"? Is that going to be a requirement during my entry process?
Ferdi W. Hello Ferdi, the Big 4 typically make their graduates take professional exams after joining them. This isn’t the same for hires at partner level. If you are being interviewed for a partner level role, the firm that is interviewing you will be more interested in your business case and how well you ‘fit’ into the firm. You may get asked to take a range of tests, e.g. verbal, mathematical and logical reasoning tests as part of the recruitment process.
@@HeatherTownsend Thanks Heather! I did think of a strategy for acquiring clients and a I have a few specific deals that I might be able to bring, but then I better get prepared for some testing as well, just in case ;-)
Thank you. It is very useful info to know what it's like and what could be the expectations from one wanting to become a partner in a big 4
Thank you I am delighted that you found it useful!
Very useful and you are one of the first to do these videos - so great effort for being the first one!
Fantastic video, love the straight talking, as a former Big 4 manager this all rings true!
Great short video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the info!
Glad you find it useful!
What does it mean to “win work”
Great question! By this we mean either bringing new clients into the firm or winning new work from existing clients.
Very helpful video
