Hi Going Concern,<\/p>\n

I have an offer from a Big 4 and a GT\/BDO type firm and am having a tough time deciding. I wanted to ask which option will be better in the long-run if I want to start in public accounting, but then might want to move to a large publicly traded tech company? I guess my question is which route would give me better exit opportunities and long-term benefits should I decide not to stay in public accounting? (If I leave, I have a good idea of where I\u2019d like to work on the corporate side.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

1. Mid-Tier Firm experience \u2014 having taken lead on small projects by my second year, more interaction with clients etc. Having experience with mid-sized (not public) tech companies, and experience with large, public companies that are not tech companies. <\/p>\n

2. Big 4 \u2014 staying a little more than 2 years (enough to move up to Sr. Associate level but not staying too long beyond that) \u2013 and having worked on large, public tech companies. Having the Big 4 brand name on my r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Also, there\u2019s a chance that I might enjoy staying at the Mid-Tier in the long-term, but without being sure, I want to keep my options as open as possible.<\/p>\n

Thanks. Any advice is appreciated. <\/p>\n

Dear Stuck in Indecision,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m impressed that you\u2019ve managed to cover all the angles here. You could possibly like each scenario without considering what it is actually want with your career other than \u201cmight want to move to a large publicly traded tech company\u201d or \u201cmight enjoy staying at the Mid-Tier in the long-term.\u201d You\u2019re basically saying that you\u2019re up for anything \u2013 hence, \u201d I want to keep my options as open as possible.\u201d Your options are open all right since you\u2019ve committed to exactly nothing. However I\u2019m here to help, so here goes.<\/p>\n

To keep it brief: all things being equal, go with the Big 4 firm. Here are some details \u2013 it\u2019s likely that you will have the opportunity to work on smaller clients at a Big 4 firm, thus giving you the chance to \u201ctake the lead.\u201d If you also have experience working for larger, publicly-traded companies (not as likely at a mid-tier), your experience will be more vast and allow you decide what it is you actually want to do (because, at this point in time, you don\u2019t seem to have a clue). GT, BDO, McGladrey et al. are fine firms but you have a Big 4 offer \u2013 take it. You didn\u2019t mention the people (a big selling point at most firms) so I\u2019ll assume you\u2019re indifferent or that they were all equal on this front. The network you build in a Big 4 firm will benefit you the long run and the experience will as well. Just don\u2019t expect your firm to do well in \u201ccool\u201d contests<\/a>. Good luck.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
