| Consulting at the Big4
Can someone explain this to me? Do all Big4 firms offer this? Is there as much traveling as the more prestigious consulting firms? And what are the sort of requirements needed to get a consulting position at the Big4?
Thanks as always.

I don't think anyone really knows, or has a prestigious job there. They are pretty competitive.

Consulting by far, unless you apply for the stupid technology position at the consulting practice.

From my knowledge, people generally go into assurance or tax first, and after a little while, they go into advisory (consulting). At least that's how my boss told me. But I have seen job postings from big 4's consulting/advisory side at my school's career website. But I'm thinking it's just as competitive as a regular consulting firm, if not more, b/c of the number-driver focus.

How are the consulting and financial advisory different at Big4? Maybe the financial advisory is what I should be looking at getting into after undergrad?

It's a totally seperate entity with seperate job opportunities and not to mention a hell of a lot more prestigious and better paying (Besides the stupid technology position).

Do jumps from financial advisory to consulting happen? Is it difficult to get into financial advisory from undergrad? I don't see my resume putting me right into consulting at a big 4 firm right from undergrad.
I'm currently e-mailing an employee with PwC to find out some answers as well, but he's in audit so I'm sure what he knows is limited. If I find out any info I'll be sure to post it in this thread.
