You should rephrase your question to 'Do you guys prefer working in a big 4 with no life most of the time, or a really small size firm with a higher chance of a better life'

In mid-tier firms, especially if you work in audit, it can be worse than Big 4. So if you really want a life, you should aim lower. Otherwise, just go to a big 4 instead of a mid-tier firm, it has better brand name, better pay and better exposure since have a life is not much of an option already.

How much is fresh grad starting salary in Big 4 now? Last I heard all paying roughly the same amount between the range of 2.7 - 2.8k. Is this accurate?

If I am not mistaken, 2.7 without professional, 3k for professional paper

Here's for KPMG

Basics for fresh grad:
1. completed diploma or below: 2.3
2. completed degree: 2.7
3. completed prof paper: 2.85

Add 150 fixed allowance for all above to get ur gross salary.

A reminder to you: you enter audit line for knowledge, not for money.

Can someone shed some light on the Big 4's transaction due diligence (financial, tax, IT) division? The amount of details in due diligence reports that I came across is quite intriguing

Big4. No question about it. Look far, aim high... it's not forever, the things you see and the people you meet would make up for the additional hours. Not to mention what is on your CV

Others have mentioned so I won't repeat. Life in medium firms aren't rosy at all; while small ones you learn the outdated stuffs.

You maybe surprised that medium firm workload may even exceed Big4 especially with the low SADs of the companies you are covering. Not all the staffs in Big4 work late due to workload ...

Definitely big4.

I know people from both big4 and mid-tier firms... With the same amount of years in experience, you can see that the mid-tier ones have barely any exposure or experience.

I'm from the consulting arm of one of the big 4.

Broadly speaking there are three divisions:

1) Management consulting - these guys are supposed to do strategy work, but most of the glam strategy work goes to MBB so the bread and butter is project management work.

2) Tech consulting (I'm in this one) - we do stuff like SAP/dashboard/database implementation etc, again the high-level IT strategy work goes to MBB.

3) HR consulting - they do stuff like human resource role transformation etc.

Anything in particular u wanna know?

So I suppose you're in Deloitte? lol

hello. anyone applying for deloitte?
is it the online application is the only way to apply?
if the search job function didn't show up my state meaning that there is no vacancy available at my location?
Can't I apply thru other channel?
