Help for a Big4 job

CA 916 views 3 replies

Hi, I have cleared my CA in first attempt and am planning to join Big4 in Taxation profile. I have heard that there are crazy working hours in Stat Audit in any of the Big4 and also there is lot of travelling involved as well, athough I am not sure whether both late timings and travelling are the same in Taxation profile also. I stay in Mumbai and would want to avoid travelling out of Mumbai

I have also heard that Big4 provide a cab or other travelling facilities for daily travels from office to residence. I would be glad if any1 who is already doing a job in a Big4 would share his/her experience about the conditions in case of a taxation profile. Also, as a fresher, what is the starting package that I can expect in any of the Big4 in Mumbai?

Your valuable suggestions / sharing of experience would help me in making correct decision......

Thanks in advance

Generally in Big4, working hours are longer and uncertian, particulary in E &Y, KPMG and PWC. 

Howevever, Deloitt is quite linient about working hours. they generally allow to leave the office at 6.30 except in case of due dates etc.

 

Travelling  may be a problem in any Big4, so u have to be prepared for it.

For a first attempt CA, starting salary in Big4 is Rs. 550000.

 

Thanks

One more thing like to add is that, no travelling facility between office to residence is provided in any Big4.. 

I also plan to join Big4 for taxation..... I have heard that in taxation, the timings are not that strict as in audit...
