Depends, my CFO got a lot of flak for choosing to use PwC when it turned out they couldn't deliver.

PwC was seen by him to be the safe choice because they were so large and essentially industry standard. He got flak because he didn't do appropriate due diligence. That was his job, so...

I don't want to jump on a man's career, but that is a step in a more competitive direction.

and, did it materially change his career advancement, promotion, labor market prospects, etc?

[dijit]

Yes

[whyagaintango]

Perhaps an exception. 99% this does not happen.

[dijit]

could also be that we dont talk about it when it happens

If a CFO chooses PwC, 98% of the time they should be fired.
