Yeahhhhh, buddy. I’m gonna be working at the Big 4! You jealous, bro? Nice dinners. Open bars. Happy Hours. Travel. Nice hotels. Airline mileage. And a ton of Respect from those at second rate firms.

What do you think about that??

Not to burst your bubble but it is not what it is made out to be. To Spartans point I prefer to have work life balance thus why I left after 2 years.

Congrats though it is great experience and I do not regret my time there!

Congrats! Definitely a major turn around from asking how long you would last a month ago when you got the job

I think you are being sarcastic with your post just to get people going. We all know its not all its cracked out to be at the Big 4.

LOL I found the post to be humorous. Something I would do while taking a break from a frustrating section.

Take a joke, y'all. This is all sarcasm. Life is gonna suck at B4

[REG-FTW86]

Forum etiquette would have had you post at the end of your thread “/sarcasm” so everyone knew you were just trying to be funny.

Oh, I laughed. LOL, especially after you saying it was a joke and I re-read it. Yeah.

You're right. That was uncalled for. I apologize for my joke. Marqzho's post cracked me up.

To the OP, congrats to the new job. I wish I would get a job like that too, BUT that's only after I get my CPA title.

@Amor D for what money? for 55k? with no OT and shitty bonuses. I'm in the tax dept of a private company making a larger base + really good year end bonus and I don't do more then 50-60's a week during busy seasons and weekends aren't required! I never got the hype about Big 4 firms and never will. Not worth it at all.

THE 300 CLUB WILL DO JUST FINE!

[Anonymous]

So at Big 4, the hours after 40 in a week are not OT?
