My wife worked for two of the Big 4 over a 7 year period

Let me just say that this video is ridiculous. For half the year, she would leave at 7 or 8, and come home at midnight each day (sometimes even 1-3 am). She did not have an Uber allowance, and their meals were consumed as quickly as possible in conference rooms while continuing to work.

I don't think so. I've done Big 4 and this sounds about right. I hated it.

I hate her. I don't know if you could try to sound more fake. She probably kills puppies during her meetings.

"Big 4" applies to accounting. Consulting has a "Big 3" - MBB.
