Big 4 main attraction is to be able to jump start into a global MNC straight away. As I see it, if your ultimate destination is to be do global/regional work in a huge organization, big 4 is the fastest way.

However if you feel that working in medium size enterprise is your cup of tea and you are content with slowly moving up and perhaps next time be a local CFO/ Finance Director of a smaller local company, you can just slowly move within the commercial space.

But one thing to take note is that it is easier for a global MNC regional finance manager to move into bigger roles in smaller companies, but very difficult for a senior level finance person in a non-MNC to move the other way round.
I agree with what you say. And that is a big factor I have to consider of. But to sacrifice salary now and move to a big 4 is painful.
