想问问前辈们的看法，四大3年女生MBA or Master如何规划，辞职备考可行否？

看到同为四大很可能是同一家的后辈，进来说一句，我就是读MBA那一小撮纯四大audit背景的人吧。
裸辞要想清 ...

看了前辈的回复很有感触，其实firm里面说要读书、要出国的人有很多，但是最后能坚持走出去的人就相对要少。这些都是太考验毅力的事情了，行百里半九十的例子太多啦。

嗯，四大有时候真的会有中温水煮青蛙的感觉，抱怨着抱怨着其实也就习惯了，变成了自己的comfort zone，总能找到一堆理由不去改变。四大的环境很容易让人“懒惰“，不去想自己真的想要什么，有时候只剩下想要改变你的那种想法啊，但其实很可能，四大其实是合适的地方，或者换个国内工作才是个好的选择。

因为我的情况是再不辞职，我觉得我身体负荷、出差、项目压力等等太大了，而且CPA没考出来也升不上去。把自己逼到极限的时候就很容易作出决定。我的同期我知道在考GT的人也有很多，但是可能压力没有我那么大，所以一直还在温水里泡着。

这个温水煮青蛙的比喻真的是太贴切了。在四大，虽然看起来大家都很忙，而且大家确实真的也都很忙，但是忙来忙去就容易忙的忘记自己到底应该想要什么，到底应该做什么。虽然不像好多国企那种明显就是会消磨人的锐气和念头，但却是另一种奇怪的“温柔乡”

不知道前辈是怎么安排时间的，感觉一忙起来，每天只能抽出一点时间看书了，想去读个好MBA怎么也得有个好看的GMAT分数呀，虽然底子不差，但是我觉得不努力就上考场还能有好成绩那种事情，怎么看也不像是能发生在我身上的事。。。

是啊，我跟你的情况一样的，只能逼自己做决定了，而且碰到上层动荡，换经理换老板换项目。。你现在在读MBA吗？可以私下交流下吗~

My 2cent:

- Just dont do (1), regisn and gap is dangerous. GT is not really that difficult which need to be taken full-time. At least try it once first - if it turn out to be poor, take more annual leave to deal with it.

- Big 4 --> Master, especially MBA is a very common thinking. Simply accounting (auditing) is too harsh and boring with limited exposure, and people there would like to have some change, i.e. its a cons in admission: b-school like diversified background.

- Studying in a pre-experiene master is not really a big problem, except you will not have a really professional peer group and network. Except MBA, some post-experience master in finance can be your choice.

- Any professional master is costly, both in $$ and time, i.e. a huge investment in human capital, for which return can only be realized if you devote much enough energy and time in your career developement afterwards. and thus this is really a decision in balancing family and work, especially for women.

- Marriage is quite a personal issue. Hurrying but finding a unsuitable one is much worse than being alone. Just ignore dad and mom. But what's true is that one need some spare time in life, and not working all the way crazily like in Big 4.
Being too busy will not only hindering personal relationship but also the ablitily to think about oneself.

My 2cent:

Thank you very much for your advice! I will try to apply some unpaid leave for the tests.

But I didn't catch the meaning of pre- and post-master that you mentioned. Could you pls take some of the two for instance?

example:
pre-experience: class mainly consist of fresh graduate, at most with internship; e.g. MIT MSF
post-expereience: strictly require a couple of year of realted working experience for admission. e.g. LBS MiF.

there are indeed not many good post-experience master in fiance over the world, especially when in US which they prefer MBA(finance) instead.
