Is slavin' it at Big 4 even really worth it? Are the hours as bad as people on the internet say?

Let me say like this, I worked as a specialist there for my first 2 years even though my field is outside.
The pay is garbage, however you learn a lot because I got shuffled to all kinds of businesses. Gave me a very good insight of what I actually wanted to within my field after leaving big4. That overview is probably sth you don't get anywhere else.
There are some other good things, a lot of quite expensive company events (paid for by you being paid a slave wage), i had a lot of business trips to London, New York, Singapore, India etc, always business class.
If you see this is as a 2-3 year learning experience with a clear off-ramp, then it's worth it. the jump OUT can be a bit difficult if you insist on being a specialist from this field, but if you want to a manager position within your field it's probably easier.

As for the work hours, remember that big4 in general attracts a certain type of people - think wolf of wallstreet type who can't make it into IB/big3. These people get off boasting about their workload.
As specialist my team was a bit different but we had these guys too. There are clear incentive to work over 40 hours, some very obvious like pay and some subtle like peer pressure / transferable billability when workload is less.

While there were some exceptional weeks I clocked in 50-60 hours (in which there was actually something to do), my *average* work week was exactly 40.0 hours. You don't HAVE to work more, but it clearly won't hurt you.

Prepare your anus for 70-80h working weeks, standby for calls 24/7 and getting yelled at for absolutely nothing.

No, you can work at Google as a swe 20hr a week for more than double the pay why would you ever become a coked out number monkey

Whites bear the brunt and slave for the non-whites and this is the communist teamwork dynamic.
Let your light shine somewhere else white man.

Depends, the perks are definitely good. Pay is generally quite negotiable (maybe not for grad positions though), and hours depend on what you’re doing and how. It’s VERY unusual for me to do more than 37.5 hours a week.

google is a lot harder to get into. It takes seasoned professionals multiple tries to pass their interviews.

> certain kind of people
You mean Chinese? The number of them entering the field are insane

Learning opportunity sounds good. I'm doing my masters in finance, and while on paper it's ok degree, I haven't been doing much there past few years, and I definitely don't feel like an expert in the field or even particularily smart person. Or Wolf of Wallstreet kidna person for that matter.
But I'm at stage of Oh-God-oh-fuck-gotta-start-making-sth-out-of-myself and been trying to get apprenticeship in assurance for past 3 weeks at small local offices (Europe). So far without much luck though, EY seems to have dumped my app. I doubt I'll really hack it there, but I thoguht to myself even just apprenticeship there should look good on the resume (I guess?)
Can they actually pull the 70-80h/week in Europe or is it more like just US thing?
Kek. Good thing we don't have a lot of non-whites around here. Yet...

Don't worry (((they))) are already arriving but you may not really notice the great acceleration of the replacement with the wfh situation.

I live and worked in Europe for a big4 and we had guys that had 100 hour weeks. One guy had 1000h overtime clocked in within one calendar year - yeah, they do it here too.

lmfao fucking wolf of wall street ahahaha i can alr tell your some dirty brownskin larping from inside your LED-lit shitshed with the ceiling fan running and a burning heat outside

no you dont shut your bumhole jeet the only thing you spent 100 hours doing this week was shitting on your favorite street larping brownskin nigger

You work until the work is done even if your (((colleagues))) are chilling you have to finish their work for them.

it should honestly be renamed to Big 2, kpmg and pwc are third-tier at best nowadays.

You seem to be a literal ESL pajeet who can't interpret texts with your double-digit IO.

This is the key. Get in, learn & deliver stuff for 2-3 years then exit for a lot more money, more senior position & the big 4 polish on your CV. I was lucky that I basically got a role a few years ago a big 4 senior manager would exit for, without actually slaving for the big 4.
