all the rage

This link's making the rounds amidst the big 4, an animated depiction of a hypothetical conversation between an auditor and his boss.

Some people think it's the most hilarious thing ever, but i'd have to give it a 6 on a scale of 10. They could have taken this much further, but even though the concept was great, the content wasn't exactly must-watch tv.

Does it truly reflect conversations amongst auditors? Snippets, yes. Are there bosses like that? Yes. Are there subordinates like that? Yes. Is it very common? Not really, but not too far off.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could break down the career opportunities in auditing and consulting (in a big 4). I know that consulting pays more in a big 4 and has more interesting work, but it seems that auditing has extremely good exit opportunities (Financial controller, CFO etc). Any thoughts on which is better in the long run?

Thanks

To my knowlesge consulting does pay better but its not really a huge jump. In fact at the senior and manager levels i would assume the pay is pretty similar between auditing and consulting.

I may be wrong, but looking forward to some other feedback from other people

I agree, when I saw the video I thought it was a great concept but the dialogue could definitely be improved.
