Ask HN: Working at a Big Four?
Worked for PWC, DT, EMC (pre-Dell) - great pay, insane hours, no work-life balance - it&#x27;s all work and a bit of sleep. Fast-track to burn-out.<p>What nobody seems to mention is that the Big 4 consult to enterprises so you have masses of meetings, &quot;methodology&quot; to follow and the general BS that comes with where PHBs rule.  If you enjoy all that and politics then go for it.<p>Personally I am far happier working as a one-man show. I only take on projects where I can deliver real results on realistic timelines and budgets.
