go for  a  big  4  surely  ,  it  help in 2 ways  work  exp  and  second  to be  always with rankers 

now  few  ppl  dnt  agree  they  dnt  provide much  leave  for  exam  prepration  but  u  r  well  prepared to exam  in  office  itself  

i  did  it  so i can tell  surely  go for  big  4  without  any  rethinking

without delay ..

If u r getting A ship there.

i ll try my best to get there well i had 67 % in ipce 1st attempt so may b some chances

They don't count on ur percentage, they will only select u on the basis of ur performance in the interview....!!

If you are very sure about starting your own firm, then Big 4 has limited attractiveness compared to a med size firm for the following reasons:

1) Big 4 would only give you exposure to one area -  mostly audit (either stat or internal) based on which group you get aborbed in and you would end up doing 3-4 main client in all your three years.

Compared to the this a med size firm would give you exposure to more areas of practice.

2) You can use the relationships you make in the med-small firm when you start your own firm but thats not the case with BIg 4 as the clients are simply too big.

3) You get more time networking compared to doing artcles with a Big 4.

However having said this if you are not so sure about practice and want to keep the option open certainly go for a Big 4.
