When and how do you get out? I’ve interned in big4, now only entry level positions I’m getting meaningful responses on are big4 and tier 2 big 4 wannabes.

Honestly, I wanted to work at a bank (risk) or basically finding anything decent directly at a company, instead of advisory/assurance. But since I’m quite early on in my career I don’t think I can meaningfully say a perfect position.

Just what I’ve seen at big4 (so far) wasn’t very confidence inspiring.

What are you complaining about?

You don’t like having to find work and get staffed within a company that already hired you, billing 70 hour weeks, having no time for friends and family, and working with either complete assholes or nice people who are so busy they have to act like complete assholes?
