How is Accenture compared to big 4?

How can I make big money in accounting without changing who I am as a person and not abandoning my creative dreams? Audit manager right now. I am a quiet person who despises micromanaging and loves creative writing. I was pushed into this field by my parents but did well enough to make it to manager. Life is expensive though especially with a family. So rising up in my field one way or another is smart. But I want to complete/publish my book series and I don't like being an uptight jerk
For Advisory, Accenture is among the cream of the crop. They don’t have an Accounting arm (we all know why) but they may be trying to partner with one of the Big 4 to provide those services.
Any @Arthur Andersen fish offering a referral
Accenture doesn’t do accounting, Big 4 (except for Deloitte) focuses a lot on accounting although we do have advisory/consulting arms, but all Big 4’s are trying to shift away from accounting towards consulting since it is more lucrative by the hour. Accenture is obviously better than Big 4 (except Deloitte) on the consulting side, especially technology/IT related consulting. I say except Deloitte because ~50% of Deloitte’s revenue comes from consulting, and it is in fact one of the best consulting agencies. However, Big 4’s strategy arms (Monitor, Strategy&, Parthenon) are better than Accenture’s strategy department.
One step up in my opinion. The tax/audit side of B4 is honestly what is dragging us behind.
Lol
How is it in terms of WLB?
Internal audit
I know two employees there. One got a DUI a couple years before getting hired and the other is very socially awkward. I feel like the vault ratings might even overstate them. Imo anyone who puts them above the big four is just wrong. They aren’t really a leader in anything.
The point is I know 2.0 GPA alcoholics that drive drunk then get hired by Accenture. I’m not saying it’s representative of the whole company, but if that’s the floor, that’s much lower than anything I’d expect the big four to accept.
