I think you overestimate what average intelligence is in the US

Grew up broke & went to a low ranked directional state university due to cost, graduated summa cum laude . B4 didn’t even recruit there and needless to say there was zero pipeline to IB, MBB, FAANG. I worked my ass off to network into B4 , got my CPA, and did 5 years in tax before I got into a M7 MBA and pivoted to work in FAANG. The job was long hours & mind numbing but I will always be grateful that I was able to start my career there and get some level of credibility on my resume

once you get into a Big 4, it’s easy to move around within that Big 4! there are so many more roles outside of Tax, Audit, and Consulting

Son’t know about the US but in Norway, you go to big4 if you want to wok like American but get paid like developing countries. Only good for going in the market, and you gotta go out in a year

This analysis of Big4 ignores that people are going to Big 4 for Consulting and that’s where the prestige of these firms come from and the best exit ops come from.

As a big four survivor this is the correct take (especially in the USA, it is slightly different in Canada)

Curious if you think an MBA is worth it coming from big4? Something I’m considering.

I’d say average to above average education, not intelligence. Sure, on average there may be more intelligent people at the ivies but let’s not act like that automatically makes you a more intelligent person or if you don’t go to an ivy that you’re “average” intelligence.

I gotta say, as ex-Big 4, this is a bad take. The best earning potential is start at Big 4 & move to industry as soon as you can. Big 4 is currently even underpaying compared to many Fortune 500 industry jobs.

Absolutely 100% correct. As someone who did the big4 cpa job course but did not go to a top top top university. I’m now in my mid 30s and years removed from big4
