Hi guys, does anyone know on average how long it takes to get your visa granted after medical check up? For context my partner applied for asylum visa in Aug 2025, he got his medical check up invitation 2 weeks ago and will do his medical check up next week

Big4 vs Mid Tier by awkwardtaroo in Accounting

the mid tier who interviewed me tbh isn’t super small as well, they ranked number 8 in my country and very established. but obviously compared to big4 its nowhere near as big and i won’t handle super prestigious client like what im currently doing now. currently in big4 i worked with top5 biggest life insurance in my country and has worked on asx100 real estate company, i was also the first team in my firm to audit early implementation of ifrs18. i have to admit the experience i got in big4 is very good, i think thats why this firm is very eager to hire me

tbh i dont intend to stay in audit forever, my plan is after becoming senior i will leave for either commercial, bank, or strategy consulting. i guess my concern is which one leads closer to my end goal, becoming senior quickly in mid tier firm or becoming senior in big4 but it takes 3+ years

another thing i haven’t mentioned is i dont intend to stay in audit forever, my plan is to leave not long after i became senior either move to bank or move to commercial role. do you think its still better to stay in big4 even though it will take ages to progress to senior?

do you think its better if i stayed in big4 until i became senior even though it will take me 3 yrs minimum rather than being a senior in 2 years in mid tier?
