Message: Hello all, I know this is an oft talked about topic but I am seriously stuck with the following questions and any advice would help: 1) I have about 1.5 yrs of experience with a BIG 4 and now I have offers with another Big 4 and Clifton Gunderson (ranked the 12th largest acct. firm). I have seen what the Big 4 is like and dont mind slogging off some more to add more value to my resume, but CG is offering a better position ( Audit senior). That way I will be a little ahead in my career. 2)The problem with CG is they do not do any SEC clients ,only middle market private clients, will that be a negative for me down the line? I plan to move to industry after some years. 3) Do people learn a lot at the smaller firms too? What are the pros and cons? Any quick suggestions will help. Thanks all...
