Is it really that appealing, to work for a big 4 firm?....
I was told they don't pay well, need to work long hours, and many people jump after just a few years....Very low staff retention rate....

QUOTE(dasecret @ Apr 3 2017, 10:15 AM) Well said. I advise accounting graduates to go on this route too. Sure, it's not the easiest or pay the most, but you basically compact the learning in 1/2 the time or less. Which means while you don't get paid very much when you are in Big 4, after 5 years you have ample options that people who are in commercial wouldn't have. Hence this is especially ideal if at the point when you graduate you are not sure what you want to do yet, and Big 4 would help you find what you like and what you are good at that's what i mean....people use the big 4 as stepping stones to gather experience and CV credits....and then move to better jobs....because there is a "glass ceiling" for most in the big 4....few find permanency in big 4 employment it seems... |
