REALISTIC Day in The Life of a Big 4 Consultant | 100% HONEST Pros and Cons of the job
Yo, you're a monash uni alumni? I study there currently.
Yessir! Small small world
I love your videos
He is not lying. I've worked for both EY and KPMG and it's all true. Don't forget how disrespectful the Partners and managers can be.
Don't start working at a big firm, start working for other companies to gain experience, then work for another consulting firm and only apply at the big 4 when you have enough experience to negotiate! I've had 2 of them approach me so far and I won't go below $115K. Gain experience and know your worth!
I spent 2.5 years at PwC and got my CPA while at PwC. I made very little and worked alot. But the brand power alone is worth it. The big 4 brand is superior to any other accounting firm. Full stop.
Can you do a video on case studies and interviews?
Capitalism is so gross
Millennial view on paying dues to gain experience
Hi Yusuf, I’m currently going into year 13 and have been looking at consultancy apprenticeships post a level, I was wondering if you knew anything about them and if they were worth doing. I was also wondering if consultants receive bonuses or is it just a salary.
Consultants certainly get bonuses, but at the entry levels I wouldn’t expect that. I’d definitely recommend an apprenticeship with a consultancy firm if you can land one.
Most of these problems are part of almost every workplace out there.
Why don't choose audit instead of consulting? Salaries in management roles are quite the same, but audit has a better work/life balance.
Audit??? You're kidding me.
Big4 firms are meant to breed strong Accounting leaders. It will weed out those who can't cut the mustard. With so much accounting irregularities going on out there in the corporate world, it needs people who are firm, and who have the strong mentality to drill deep down into submitted workpapers and financials to find things. Whenever I hear/see companies all of a sudden going bankrupt, my first question is: "where were the auditors ?" It takes a span of several months for companies to go bankrupt and it takes sharp auditors to spot and question irregularities early on. When people leave their Big4 firms as Senior Manager, their first position will most likely be as a Controller with another company. Hopefully they will bring that Big4 integrity with them into the company. Personally speaking, all of the companies I've worked in the last 10-15 years have only hired Big4 background people to be their Controllers or VP Accounting/Finance.
I was referred and didn’t get in but trying again
3:48 I’d sue! This is so against labour standards and laws!
No lies told‼️NO lies‼️
Thanks for this REAL day to day!!!
I'm currently thinking bout leaving my job as well. I feel like I'm not good enough for the position, long hours, sometimes work on weekends and I dont see it slowing down soon. But most importantly I feel so stressed and anxious every morning. I even started thinking negative thoughts. I dont know what to do
@Xen0gears515 awh I hear you today I have to decide wlbetween a small company and my intern company ( EY). I have been an intern at EY for 8 months and had a good impression of what would await me there. A lot of days with your coworkers and although I like certain coworkers it can be quiet annoying to spend my whole day with them haha
big 4 applications are opening up now Australia wide. I noticed that you have a background in engineering like me. The work you done during most of your career was mainly consultancy kind of work. How were you able to find an engineering role elsewhere without relevant engineering experience and with only consultancy experience?
Hey Moustafa - I haven't worked in engineering. I made the decision to not pursue a career in engineering during my penultimate year of uni
Bullshit jobs
Is every job that busy during winter?
Hey Tyson! Sorry for the slow response....not necessarily, some jobs have fairly predictable seasonal patterns, others are consistent year round and the rest is random busy seasons throughout the year
Come back
Soon!!
You forgot about lying on your hours to say 40 hours when really it’s 60
Oh wao ... I am about to quit b4 and this vidoe is last nail .... and very true... cant say much but that is reality .
If the "Snake" / "Backstabbing" politics is really a thing, then I wouldn't even bother.. cause life is just too short and hard on its own to have to worry about 2 face/pathetic souls..
What type of consultant were you? Tax, audit, management?
Hey! Sorry for the super delayed response...I've worked across tech, strategy and management consulting
U should get good colleagues and senior Managers. See there is no racism and be bold so as not to be bullied and pushed to death.
Oooofff seems like you picked the wrong Big Four my guy... and at the very least had the unlucky hand to be on a team like that..
100% spot on
The same with yours, PwC Assurance.
Sorry I must say that "be a snake" is a terrible advice. Not all consulting firms are like this, you sound a bit like you're done with consulting but it's not how it is everywhere...
The worst are managers who get pissed when you ask questions that are technical. I am sorry if you don't know the answer, but that gives you no right to bite my head off...
You are spot on....teaching others is a big part of a seniors/managers role. The stigma around asking 'stupid questions' is a real barrier for growth. It plagued me early on until I got to a point where I didn't care what others thought and that included managers because I'd seen enough oxygen thieves to conclude if I was unsure about something then chances were someone else in the room wasn't sure either
When your managers doesn’t know any IAS’s or IFRS’s nor any auditing standards. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
3:50 that screenshot was happened in hk, when that screenshot got leaked it cause a massive controversy in hk. Also, one of my friends used to work at ey and knows the manager that sent the email, he said the manager should not send an email or leave the schedule in black and white although it’s common for them to have such schedule
That's the scary part - it's only controversial because it got leaked but otherwise it's completely normal 😓
Glad that my friend resigned a few months ago and get a new job that does not need to work overtime. I used to work as an esg consultant, it was like hell to me and i glad that I resigned.
can you include booz allen in dat big 4 too?? or is booz different? which sector at booz do dey bench d most? the IT sector? devops engineers?
my take based on working in consulting for 7 years. pros; you get great exposure to many different companies / sectors. you learn and develop lots of skills including analysis and dealing with clients. cons; its a bit of a pyramid scheme, where you are told that if you work to death, sacrifice personal life, in some instances (tell the small lies to win bids), and put up with some of the toxic environment with backstabbing colleagues, favouritism (its run by partners, and the partners are like little kings and queens, and if they like you you rise if not, no chance). you can feel like a sellable resource, when the resourcing teams try and sell you for jobs (they act almost like pimps i felt just selling me to jobs sometimes without even asking me). for some its a great life, and it suits their personality and temperament. but i got tired of being sold to different clients as the 'expert' on something i knew little about, just because i was on the bench. i also got tired of being under pressure to deliver to unexpected deadlines that the partner had promised, working with lots of juniors who were from disparate backgrounds, emotional states, training and personal goals, to deliver something that was of high quality. sometimes there was no respect from the juniors to those below partners, as they did not see you as important in their career growth. so if you were in the middle between grad and partner, you sometimes got no respect from those above, nor from those below. but again its is very team dependant. if you are in a good team it can really be great. but most people did not want to kill themselves to be partner, and were looking to leave and join a firm in industry as a 'head of' type role.
Is it concerning that I felt I was reading my own thoughts 😬
Hi Yusuf! I’m considering applying to Deloitte’s legal department, as I have my JD and am in pursuit of my license as an attorney. Both of these are requirements in this role. I have been trying to get a referral, with no avail. Would you mind helping me?
Hey Joske! I'll shoot through a message on LinkedIn and see what I can do 🙂
That would be perfect! Last name Jenkins. I’ll delete this comment once you find me! Lol
Dude I'm an accountant from Serbia. It is interesting for me to follow your channel because it has vases with my profession as an accountant. I watch and I don't believe !! You go to work by public transport! You , an accountant who works at "BIG4" !! ??? In Serbia, there would be someone who works in such a company and has such a salary consider him CRAZY because he doesn't go to work by car !! And that Montreal is a beautiful city but it is a pity that it is in Canada. Ice cold dark ...
So interesting 😅 I would say 70% of all employees here use some form of public transport to travel to the office!
If "GREAT 4" takes your life and turns you into their 16 working hours a day robot, then no big salary is worth it! Do you have time to spend that money ??? You don't have time !!
That's the catch, not much time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. It's the classic work to live not live to work conundrum!
Sounds like elliot hulse.
hahah instantly reminiscing but not sure if compliment..
The comment “The best version of yourself” is all I was referring to.
Nice to hear from another Aussie. I interned in big 4 audit and it was honestly horrible. I was asked to work weekends (which I openly refused to do) because they didn’t put enough staff on one of the clients. Most of the grads were not vacationers before (go figure) and apparently from the previous group of interns, less than 30% accepted their grad offers. That says it all really. I’m starting a grad career in industry (with a $15k salary bump and actual work life balance) and I couldn’t be more excited. Thanks for the vid!
Hello comrade 🙂 Wow less than 30% accepting grad offers speaks for itself! So glad you made the quick pivot to industry, hope it all works out for you!
@@Yusuf-zm4gn Cheers mate, you too!
@@Yusuf-zm4gn I'm part of the 70% who was an intern and will not be accepting the offer.
where are you working now mate?
I experienced all of these situations in my first 3 years at Deloitte Consulting. had to fucking run and escape for my life. 1. set up to fail then blamed for failing 2. colleagues that have your back for half a year just to throw u under the bus during end of year reviews 3. escalation threats, shouting managers 4. asked for help during a project but manager asked me to search answers on wikipage on google. 5. no work life boundaries. working overtime is expected and default culture 6. shifting goal posts every year, got great client feedback and excellent performance reviews maxed out scores but never got promoted. (excluding the year where review got sabotaged by peers) 7. 0 salary raise company wide when covid broke out 8. heavily under-resourced projects with unrealistic timelines 9. half the team left in a year.
So glad you got out - that's a joke but sadly I don't flinch reading it!
this country seems US right?
Is he Uk or Australia
Australia
You couldn't have said it better Yusuf. On top of that there's also a "It is what it is " rule to the culture and a "If you want to walk, walk vibe". Guess paying the bills keeps us going.
Yes! Seems the only real advantage is we could go back and forth for hours with depressing anecdotes…great conversation 😅 100% and then you’re constantly facing the ‘oh but I’m comfortable’ feels + your ethnic parents guilt tripping you into prolonging the suffering.
Best day in the life ever... Very real talk 👍❤
Thanks Ahmad 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I really think it depends on your project, manager, team, and if you're deloitte, talent model.
If you have a problem with long hours and collegues do not go to law school. What you describe is a vacation for many professionals. You really have it better than you think.
Hey Aya, think you missed the intent of this one. I'm the last person to glorify long hours but at the same time I don't think too many others have it worse than 15+ hour days 6-7 days a week. Everyone should have a problem with long hours, period. Yes they're a necessary evil from time to time but never a consistent experience. What I described shouldn't be a vacation for anyone unless you're a real masochist
@@Yusuf-zm4gn Lawyers, Bussiness owners and Doctors work long hours all the time. I used to have to work 80 hours a week and on holidays. Nurses too. You really don't know. Anytime you make over 6 figures expect to have to work many hours unless you work for the federal government . The federal government is the only place where people make over 100,000 to 200,000 thousand and only work 40hrs.
@@tracyi9152 imi pretty sure he knows. Peak seasons for Mgmt Consulting and Investment bankers can head into the 70 and 80 hour range. We understand
@@FlightX101 yes!! The older I get, the easier it becomes to take the high road 😅 only thing I’ll add is there are strict regulations that limit working hours of health professionals for obvious reasons. On the flip side we don’t have regulations/policies in our corner but rather the level of humanity of your superiors…
Great video, I want to switch careers from a biomedical scientist to consulting (strategy consulting), but there aren’t any RUclips videos about this topic. Do you have any tipis for someone who is trying to get into consulting 5 years post university?
Hey Ruth! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond 😔 My advice in this situation might sound counter intuitive but I'd aim to get my foot in the door at a junior consultant grade. The reason I say this is because it's the time when you're afforded the most slack to make mistakes and really hone your core consulting skills e.g. Framing problem statements, familiarising yourself with models and presentations. Once you've got this down pat and it doesn't take very long in some instances, you will springboard up the ranks because you have such deep subject matter expertise (some one working in the health industry would really appreciate the knowledge you bring and this attractiveness = promotions and growth). Most other junior consultants have no deep industry experience so use that point of differentiation to set you apart when it matters! You'll be great 🙂
what you described pretty much what I have experienced in investment banking. I quit. Fast forward 3 years later, here I am, offered a blockchain consultant with Big Four. which puts me in a very very difficult position. At one side, I need that money. On the other hand, it reminds me how toxic that corporate environment could be. I'm 30 and yet to make any significant achievements in financial or network. I knew why I came into blockchain was to run my own startup, for that I need this experience what consulting can offer as well. What do you think? Ughhhhh Thanks for the video btw. I really enjoyed it and feels like i'm sitting in the room with you.
Hey! I know those feels all too well 🥲 your situation doesn't sound too bad though....I'd take up the big 4 opportunity and build your domain expertise in the space. Because you know this stint will last a defined period of time before you pivot to your own start up then that should make it more bearable! Thanks for watching and I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏾 let me know how you go!
@@Yusuf-zm4gn thank you so much for your replies. It means a lot. I signed the offer letter for their consulting position. Hopefully the tech side is less toxic than management. One could only hope. 🤞 Liked & subbed.
@@xxxxxGhostBoyxxxxx how is it?
@@n8rey it is what it is. Politics are still there but luckily not within the team. Projects can be a bit daunting at times switching between developer and consultant roles at times, but I'm not complaining.

Hey, I'm currently studying a Level 3 Business BTEC in the UK ( a college course if you're not familiar with our education system - I'm 17). The BTEC qualification is a relatively new one, that focusses on a more practical method of teaching. For example, coursework makes up half of my overall grade with exams taking the other half. This style of education has made me think that University might not be for me, instead I'm thinking of applying for a apprenticeship scheme with one of the big four where I can get professional qualifications while getting paid and bypassing university. I'm not sure if you're familiar with these schemes but if so, do you think apprenticeship schemes are a good alternative to University? if yes, can you think of anything that university offers that these apprenticeships don't/vice versa? I'm just in dire need of advice because careers advisors in my college only seem to know about university routes :(
Hey Daniel! Not familiar with the BTEC but it sounds similar to what they offer in the local high school system in Australia. It's an interesting debate with some obvious pros and cons. I've seen a few of the higher apprentices during my time at PwC and had some work directly with me. My two cents on this one, university gives you an extended opportunity to work on your analytical and problem solving skills. While you get to do this during your apprenticeship on real cases, the environment is the key difference. University is relatively stress free where there are plenty of opportunities to make mistakes and work on building rapport with team members. The work environment is more fast paced and the support system isn't as strong because people have limited time to assign to your training and development. The apprenticeship path gives you the obvious fast track into the work place but you may find yourself a little hamstrung if it turns out you want to work in other fields. I'm seeing a trend where workplaces are ditching the requirement to have a degree so this offsets the above. Ultimately, I don't think either option is a bad choice and also choices that you can reverse/course correct from if it's not working out. Good luck with whatever you choose 🙂
@@Yusuf-zm4gn thanks i appreciate that you took the time to respond :)
Hey, I will be starting an apprenticeship in Sept/Oct this year and wondered if you did join an apprenticeship and how did you find it?
Instead of making video, Why you should not join big 4, you must focus on why should we join big 4
Fool, youtube is oversatuated with those kind of videos, continue to be gullible at your own peril
It's so interesting that during my research for this career I came across so many consultant RUclipsrs who hyped up the life, and then after a few months passed they'd post how they quit/left. Just goes to show in-depth research is important cause if I just watched the videos that showed they were happy then I would still believe I wanted this career. Thanks for videos like yours!
Hey Emily! I'm glad you found this valuable - the aim for me has always been to share the things that aren't readily available because like you said, the internet is saturated with 'what you want to hear'. All the best in your search for the career that is right for you!
@@Yusuf-zm4gn Thank you!
