The ability to be involved in projects that have an impact on society as a whole is a unique appeal of large-scale firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <span class=\"swl-marker mark_blue\"><strong>other consulting firms tend to focus on projects for mid-sized companies or specific industries<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the scale is relatively smaller, <strong>many cases involve narrowly focused support on specific themes such as HR strategy and operational efficiency, allowing you to deeply engage with the core of the challenge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, since there are many projects that produce results in a relatively short period of time, it is a suitable environment for those who want to develop their expertise with a sense of speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-39\">Number of Employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"swl-marker mark_blue\"><strong>All BIG4 firms have over 1,000 employees each, making them among the largest in Japan<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a global scale, the number of employees exceeds 100,000, meaning <strong>you can interact with people from a wide variety of backgrounds<\/strong>. This provides great stimulation while helping you achieve personal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <span class=\"swl-marker mark_blue\"><strong>other consulting firms may have as few as around 500 employees<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, if you are thinking of working on projects in a global environment, the BIG4 is the best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-40\">Service Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"swl-marker mark_blue\"><strong>A major characteristic of the BIG4 is the breadth of service areas they cover<\/strong><\/span>. In addition to traditional services such as auditing and taxation, they cover a diverse range of fields including strategic planning, IT consulting, M&amp;A advisory, risk management, and ESG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their strength lies in having the structure to respond to a wide range of challenges on a one-stop basis, allowing them to <strong>support the overall management of client companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <span class=\"swl-marker mark_blue\"><strong>other consulting firms often narrow their focus to specific fields, such as being exclusively strategy-focused or IT-focused<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is appealing for those who want to deepen their expertise in a specific field, for those who want to gain cross-functional experience across multiple areas or build a comprehensive career, the BIG4 is likely the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsID=\"1908\">\n<p><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-s\">\uff1e\uff1e\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/job\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/job\/\">\u30b3\u30f3\u30b5\u30eb\u30bf\u30f3\u30c8\u306e\u6c42\u4eba\u3092\u898b\u308b\u3001\u6c42\u4eba\u3092\u63a2\u3059<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-41\">Frequently Asked Questions About Changing Jobs to the Consulting &#8220;BIG4&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/iStock-1329406779-resize.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden blocks with Q&amp;A written on them\" class=\"wp-image-5304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/iStock-1329406779-resize.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/iStock-1329406779-resize-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/iStock-1329406779-resize-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, we will answer frequently asked questions about the BIG4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-capbox cap_box is-style-onborder_ttl2\" data-colset=\"col2\"><div class=\"cap_box_ttl\"><span>Frequently Asked Questions About the BIG4<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cap_box_content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#toc-42\">Is it true that changing jobs to a BIG4 consulting firm is highly competitive?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#toc-43\">What are the salaries at BIG4 consulting firms?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#toc-44\">What are the characteristics of people suited for a BIG4 consulting career change?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#toc-45\">What are the career paths after joining a BIG4 firm?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure a satisfying job search, resolve any questions you have in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-faq -icon-rounded\" data-q=\"fill-custom\" data-a=\"fill-main\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-faq__item\"><h3 id=\"toc-42\">Is it true that changing jobs to a BIG4 consulting firm is highly competitive?<\/h3><div class=\"faq_a\">\n<p><span class=\"swl-marker mark_blue\"><strong>It is true that changing jobs to the BIG4 is highly competitive<\/strong><\/span>.
