How do the big 4 compensate their auditors? What is the entry level base? Do the big 4 accounting firm pay you enough for the long hours to be worth it?
I started as a staff accountant at Verizon Corp Finance. I've been here over 4 years and been promoted to consultant. Should I switch to public accounting? People normally do the opposite
Big 4s are like schools. You will learn a ton and make connections. Just don’t care too much about salary at early career
Not worth it all all. Pick a new profession. New programmers get $150k out of college. $250 at top tier tech companies. New auditors get $60k and need masters degree for a cpa and advanced positions
Yea I would recommend that too but I don’t think software can be innately picked up by most people (ie.. would fail out of basic c class at university sadly)
I think it is a good stepping stone when your young(before it was partner or bust as a career track but I heard that an associate partner was created) ... note that everyone who used it as a stepping stone and moved into private corporate were infinitely happier
It’s stepping stone to more shit jobs.
The dynamic range of a good vs mediocre audit pales in comparison to an engineer so there is less superstar mentality ( connections matter a lot but if you can become a director of accounting at a tech start up it is not that bad if u do not have a knack for technology)
Not that bad meaning the actual tc which i see being thrown is like a middle pack engineer who is probably still super smart
Throwing around TC as a comparison is dangerous given how overvalued tech is. November was just a dress rehearsal.
What is TC and what happened in November?
Tc= total compensation and i guess what happened recently with tech stock crashing
Pls don’t move to big 4 unless you are ready travel and work crazy hours and manage unpredictable schedules
