What is the worst experience you've had at Big 4?

I was done with a very shit project team. The client is notorious, ask anyone in EY GDS about a telecom provider project near Manesar that everyone dreads. They make you work night shifts and literally have nothing to do there. I know people who game there all night. It is just the worst and my health was being affected. I am being paid < 10L by the way. So it was getting very toxic. I decided to ask my manager but he said that it is not possible right now. I asked my friends in other projects and I came to know that the only way to leave the project is to leave EY. I also came to know about someone who left EY to leave the project and rejoined EY to join another project. I am now done with EY. Who said that Big 4 is good? Only Boomers who think Big 4 has prestige ig because they pay peanuts.

All big 4 are same. No difference, inhuman behaviour exhibited by manager and leadership team, toxic culture,no work life balance . Only biasness, favouritism and bootlickers are growing in big 4. Pathetic culture

As per my analysis in future no one will join in big 4 based on very toxic culture. Even no one will join in big 4 even no interview will be conducted. Being a CA I don't recommend to join to CA after qualification also no peace of mind.

Deloitte

I feel like I have failed in life by joining Deloitte. Anyone else feel this way in Big4?

I just cant handle the pressure and the stress in this role. I am working so hard that I have ZERO work life balance. The entire day just goes in meetings and meetings. I think that I don't know anything and am extremely worried about my future. The work pressure is a lot here, deadlines are too tight and I have been vomiting from stress at night. The worst part is, Deloitte never pays for over time. Anyone else feeling this in other Big4s? I want to switch ASAP or I will die here.

Unemployed

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well. Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Why do you work in the Big 4? [Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG]

Why do so many people work in the Big 4 given that you have to work so many hours and your work life balance doesn’t exist. Is having a Big 4 on your CV really worth all of that hassle and not having a life in your 20s? What about you guys? What are your personal reasons for staying with the big 4?
