Hello all. I have about 3.5 years of small time CPA firm/business management firm experience but was recently able to land a job with one of the Big 4 as a year two auditor (just shows you how highly they view non big 4 experience). I wanted to see if anyone had any tips or advice going into such a structured and cutthroat environment. All the firms I’ve been in have been so relaxed and stress free. I’ve certainly learned a ton (mostly tax work) and am ready for the new challenge, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any nuggets of wisdom they are willing to share outside of the typical “super long hours of work, no social life, no time for anything” type of advice.
