Would you..?
Take an offer outside the Big 4 (GT, BDO, Moss Adams etc.) if they made you partner or stick it out 4 more years as director to have a shot at becoming partner at the Big 4? Why?
Partner retirement/pension is usually far better at the Big 4.
a partner at moss is nobody in comparison to the big 4.
Why not wait 4 years and then decide?
What are the chances of becoming big 4 partner?
If you're 4 years away from having a shot at partner, then you probably should know it by now
Incorrect. Being 4 years away, you're at least, well, 4 years away from knowing. Absolutely none of the Big 4 will entertain a partner discussion with someone who's 4 years away so if you have the opportunity now at one of the next big 3 - BDO, GT, RSM - take it. Others, no, wait and ride it out.
Uber's valuation went from $3.5 billion in August 2013 to $66 billion today. That's 3 years. You can get a lot done and make a lot more in 4. So, why waste it? I'd take the partnership offer in front of me than waste my time trying to fight for one.
Question is kinda confusing. U mean becoming a partner at these firms?
Yes, basically saying would you become partner now (if an opportunity arose) at the cost of losing the Big 4 title. Or stay for a few more years to become a Big 4 partner. This is assuming that you are currently a sr manager/director at the Big 4.
