Hello,
No, this isn't possible. Interning at another company while working full-time for one of the Big 4 will be prohibited by contract. Moreover, there are not enough hours in the day for you to do be able to do both.

Hi there,
Short answer: No.
There are two reasons for this:
- Contracts usually prohibit this
- Initially, you will already struggle enough to get your work done for your Big 4 job. Keep in mind that you will usually spend between 50 and 60 hours per week on that alone.
Cheers,
Florian

Contractually your unlikely to be allowed to do this. For your health and well-being - unless you are ok with never sleeping it’s not a great idea. Chances are you’ll fail at both - I really recommend not doing that!

Hi,
Arrange for a later start at BIG4 company and do the internship first if it's truly valuable for your future career.

No. Please do not do this. You (highly) risk ending those endeavors with no job at all.
