BDO Deals Advisory vs Big 4 Audit

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing a tough decision and could use some advice. I've been offered deals advisory associate at BDO and audit associate role at a Big 4 firm. I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each option, and I’d love to hear from those who have experience working at either, especially in Singapore.
Here are a few details about my situation:

• Interest: I'm more interested in deals-oriented work long-term ( M&A, valuations, due diligence), but the big 4 brand is hard to ignore.
• Goals: I'm still early into my career but I'm hoping to exit into corp dev/fp&a/pe
• Learning opportunities: I feel I'd be exposed to more quality work at BDO rather than quantity at KPMG due do firm/team sizes.
• Work-life balance: How do the two roles compare in terms of hours and culture?

Thanks!
