In what respect? I work for a Big 4. YMMV, a lot (depending on the org, your location, the team you work in, etc). I am not a dev, but work in a role where I get to use my technical background to help clients get done whatever it is they need.
- The hours range between great and terrible (if it's quiet there's a fair amount of flexibility, if it's busy then you work like a dog).
- I get to work on a range of clients, doing different things. There's plenty of scope to try new things if I get sick of whatever I'm doing at that stage.
- Pay can be good or terrible, depending on what you do and how good you are at it.
- I work in a role where I don't have sales targets (thank god), but you can get pure sales roles as well.
- The people I have worked with are amazing (internally, client facing can be a different matter). In 5 years, there's literally only a handful of people I wouldn't work with again, and some of them are now some of my best friends. Most people are driven, incredibly smart, and hard-working.
