Big 4 Audit or Civil Service?

Hi, I am in a lucky dilemma, for which I am grateful. I have two job offers post-uni, Big 4 Audit and the Civil Service Direct Appointment Scheme, in an interesting Policy role. Would like to hear your experiences, what you would do in my position etc. I am genuinely interested in economics and public policy, and think I could do well in either of the roles but I am genuinely unsure.

Big 4 Audit or Civil Service?

Hi, I am in a lucky dilemma, I have got two job offers post uni, for which I am very grateful. One is from Big 4 audit, one from the Civil Service Direct Appointment Scheme, the latter in an fairly interesting policy role. Which do you think I should take considering longterm prospects, given automation/AI agents and current job cuts in audit, but there is also some degree of automation and political risk of radical civil service reform in the latter case? Would like to know what you would do in my position.

I have some good previous internship/placement experience in non-accounting areas, and interested in economics and public policy. Genuinely in two minds about which to pick.
