Thanks for the tip! I think regardless of the time this still is relevant
Can you do a video on going from Big 4 to Corporate finance or consulting? I know a lot of people are curious about this topic.
Sure I'll try to get a podcast and video up on this soon.
I put up a podcast about this topic last week. See the link below. I'll try to get a video up soon. Thanks again.

Thanks for uploading this podcast. It is very helpful and provides simple strategies.
For me as a college student soon-to-graduate, do you think going Big 4 assurance is necessary to "accelerate" one's career or would you recommend going straight into lower-tier corporate finance or consulting role if you don't have the opportunity to work for a top-tier consulting firm or a Fortune 100 company right away, assuming the latter options are the end-goals?
NOTE: I tried commenting directly on the podcast but there was an error with the server, sorry
If you are hardworking and motivated, I would recommend going straight into lower tier corporate finance or consulting that way you can learn the lay of the land. Then you can figure out if it is the right fit for you. You can also learn what you need to do to get ahead while you are in that role. If you go into audit, you will be buried in what I consider to be meaningless work for a couple years. That work won't necessarily get you any closer to a good finance role either. I'm a big proponent of starting down the career path that you want today versus going into another career path hoping you can transfer those skills. Many people in finance and consulting also know that the big 4 associates aren't well trained for high performing roles. Therefore, the best organizations won't necessarily hire you just because you were a high performing associate or senior associate. You are most likely to get a job at a lower tier finance organization after joining the big 4. That's why it's better to get started at those organizations today.
Thank you so much! Keep up the great videos. They are really helpful.
Hey how can someone get in touch with you other than the comment section?
PS: not looking to be recommended for a job or anything, just a question for you.
