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?

I am in EY and interviewing at pwc, delloite and LTImindree.

Lot of mental peace goes away while working in big4.

External Audit

The general opinion around big 4 is that the work/life balance is shit, and the pay varies from average to above average. Where can we go from here? Have people switched to a different industry, like FMCG (not specifically)? Does it pay more? Is the work culture better?

Where do we go from here?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am currently evaluating offers from both KPMG and E&Y for internal audit. While I have my own marks for both of the firms, need your inputs on the following. You may also rate on a scale of 1-10 for the following aspects.

1. Work Life balance
2. Quality of work
3. Culture and how people are treated
4. Pay

Thank you.

How is the work-life balance in Mahindra Logistics? Got an opportunity to join as an Analyst in Mumbai's branch. Also if any employee or former employee is reading this post, how is the work culture of the organization?

Seen many reviews about companies having a good or bad WLB. As a fresher, I would love to know what experienced people consider a good work life balance and how important it is while judging a company? Any other factors to consider?

What is a good work life balance

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.

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

Hello TCSians, 
Would you please share how is the life at TCS at C4 level? Much appreciated your response.
Thanks

Worklife balance at TCS at C4 level?

I started off my career working for a Startup because the pay was slightly higher (Startup offered me 6.5 LPA whereas EY was offering 5.5 LPA for the same role) 

I always wondered if I would have gotten better exposure and learning experience if I worked for one of the Big4…Does it in anyway provide additional intangible perks?

How is working for Big4 different than working for a Startup?

Does anybody have idea about wfh opportunities for assurance profile in Big 4s.

1. You’re not in Big 4 for the money early in your career. Your 20s should be spent laying the foundations of your career in your late 20s to early 40s.

2. Money will never be fantastic compared to industry. People aren’t paying Big 4s for expertise, they’re paying for temporary / agile resource allocation or because something requires external parties (e.g., external audit, independent reviews etc.).

3. You can absolutely succeed outside the Big 4, but YMMV. For every industry success story, there’s always someone who worked at a great company but got stuck playing musical chairs, screwed by a restructure, thrown under terrible leadership or just lacked that sweet serendipity that everyone needs to score that next promotion. The Big 4 by comparison provided structured training and career progression. The price you pay for this is money and work life balance.

4. Recruiters love ex big 4 hires just like why they love CAs. It’s a reliable stamp on someone’s CV to shows that someone’s gone through an appropriate level of professional training and professional experiences. For example when hiring an experienced senior / manager I’d be comfortable that they’d have experience coaching new staff, people managing, advising senior leaders or even navigating complex political environments.

5. Networking and its benefits are never felt immediately. The people who realise this too late are always the ones who get caught with their pants down in the middle of job interviews or complex matters at work. They often have no friends, peers or ex colleagues to turn to for advice or just as a general sounding board. You’ll realise just how many people you know in various companies/roles once you leave the Big 4.

Lessons from my Big 4 manager

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have seen so many posts, on Grapevine alone, of how people are being harrassed and traumatized in their companies. And honestly, reading all those posts and comments scare the hell out of me because I haven't been subjected to or witnessed anything like this.

Let me share the experience I have had till now:

I have ~2 YOE, and Capgemini is my first company. I know the pay isn't great, but that's the only thing I don't like about the company. 

The people I have met or worked with in the entirety of my time here, they are supportive, kind, and considerate. Every single one of them, including the managers/directors. They don't expect you to work late hours or on weekends, unless there are critical escalations/important deadlines.

My manager gives out words of thanks and appreciation, even on the smallest of things (yes he talks strictly too, and usually I am at the wrong when this happens, nothing major though). I get all the support that I need. I don't have to worry about the work life balance.

I have never had a single issue with a teammate, and most of them are seniors whom I work with. No big egos, no attitude, nothing. They help out whenever I reach out to them.

And it is the same story on my client side as well. 

I have worked/interacted with both male and female leaders, and all I have ever seen among everyone is empathy, respect for everyone's work, and always ready to help nature.

I understand that this is all just my experience, but my reason for writing this post is to share a positive experience and that there are still good people around here.

Maybe I am the odd one out (on the happier side)

Here is something I can tell you about bias. It is human nature to be very emotional and complain when things are bad and not talk about it too much when things are good.  
  
 Forums like Grapevine and Blind are filled with unhappy posts because of this reason. Most people complain when things are bad. Hardly anyone praises when things are good. For every bad post you see here, I am sure people are out there having a good time at work.  
  
 Treat this with a pinch of salt and live out your career, you only have one. Don’t be bogged down and settle because you are scared of the unknown.

How do you like the work-life balance in FAANG. Is that something special or as regular IT companies.
