Consulting

Thinking about moving to Strategy from Tech Consulting. Any thoughts on work life balance and comp/benefits between Monitor Deloitte and EY-Parthenon? I am currently a Senior Consultant at EY, so also wondering if internal transfer would reduce my chances to negotiate a higher salary while moving.

I’m leaving from 1 firm to another. Can anyone provide guidance on how to handle the 401k? Do I just do that directly with Charles Schwab?

Who are top industry players in healthcare that are NOT insurance companies?

Interviewing with Optum healthcare consulting. Anyone have experience or anecdotes to give an inside perspective?

ZS Associates how are your exit options for non-LS/healthcare industries?

For any former Deloitte now at Accenture - what did you do with your 401k? Leave it? Roll it over? Haven’t yet gotten the details on ACCN 401k plans.

Anyone know if Strategy& is hiring for Healthcare / Consumer Retail practices? Would appreciate a referral if possible

Probably just my soul looking for a way out …so fellow fishes a quick vote for me, how would you choose: Both LS/ healthcare 1) Global brand, 60+ hours, travel, $160k+ total comp 2) Boutique, good WLB (heard from multiple happy employees), no travel, $110k+ total comp

Anyone who has recently accepted a job at EY consulting I would greatly appreciate your insight. How would you describe work life balance in comparison to the company you left? Was the increase in pay/benefits worth the change in work life balance? I’m currently in a situation where I work close to 40 hours a week (remote), so I’m hesitant to accept a new role where I may work 50-60 hours a week for only 20k more pay. Also for reference I’m looking at transitioning into a senior consultant role.

Recently started working remotely for a consulting firm in NY, currently living in TX. Single with no dependents, haven’t setup 401k or other contributions yet - my first paycheck was taxed at 38%. Because of my residence in TX, no NYC city tax was withheld (correctly). At 125k, 38% seems absurd! I checked multiple online calculators and even manually checked what my contributions should be against the tax tables - I should be closer to 30%. Does this check out? I hope it’s a clerical mistake

I want to take all my $ out of my 401K (left employer so no more matching). Is there any benefit to rolling over to IRA vs just cashing to my bank account? Also, there is no 10% penalty now because of COVID, correct?

Thoughts on creating a second email for referral-based applications? Building contacts for referrals is taking some time so I don't want to wait to apply. But I do want to get the benefits of a referral if I could get them, so I was thinking about applying with my primary email, and if necessary, reapplying with my secondary email once I get a referral.

Why put money into a 401k past the match when you get taxed as ordinary income once you pull it out. The long-term capital gains tax would most likely be lower (15-20%) and your funds would be more liquid (brokerage acct. vs 401k)

Any advice on which bank I should go with for checking account? Now with Wells Fargo but want to switch elsewhere. Any bank offering benefits? Thanks!

What are the dental insurance premiums and vision premium at PWC. I dont see this listed in the benefits document. Can someone help ? I only see medical insurance premiums listed

401K question - if I max my contribution this year and then join another firm - can I still contribute and max that one out as well - within the same fiscal year? Or is it just allowed to max out overall total within a year irrespective of company

Why is the annual deductible so high in the health insurance plans provided by pwc. For employee + family which plan is everyone choosing. I am afraid to choose HDHP since my child has some expensive medication. What do you all recommend ? The insurance seems far better at Accenture

Are there any companies that offer MBA tuition reimbursement without having to be in strategy?

Oliver Wyman 🐠, does anyone know how, if at all, the three primary health insurance options cover mental health, e.g. therapy, psychiatrist?

Can anyone share your experience /what you've heard about Kearney healthcare practice? 1) How's the exposure to pharma /biotech (as compared to pharmacies / consumer health) ? 2) How’s the hour? TIA!

I was recently offered a Senior 3 position at EY within GSP in a tier 2 city. Starting base salary is $130k with a signing bonus of 6k. Really just seeking guidance on what I can reasonably negotiate regarding salary, signing bonus, and other benefits. I have 6 YOE and was initially interviewing for a manager position. I was offered S3 as a trial year to become acclimated to EY's culture before being promoted to manager.

Offered a role to start in 2 weeks. I have a vacation planned out for a large family event last week of July. Do I tell them the first day I start or now? I don’t want the start date to push as it’s doubling my comp and the benefits are better

Should I maintain active Cpa if I am working in management consulting. Any specific benefits to it?

Does Deloitte official can get paternity leave in his 1st year ? If yes, for how many weeks he is eligible ?

Looking to understand how “no income tax” works.... say move to Texas, my salary is 100,000, I get paid 2x a month. Does that mean my paycheck is 100,000/24 - any costs of 401K, healthcare? Sounds too good to be true.....

Anyone willing to give me a referral for a Mckinsey generalist position? ADC in healthcare looking to make a switch.

What are the benefits (if any) of working at Oliver Wyman, Kearney, Accenture strategy, EY-Parthenon, Strategy& etc. Instead of MBB?

Anyone who moved from ey to Deloitte that can shed light on their experience? I love the culture at ey but would like the challenge and financial benefits of Deloitte. Would love to hear insight on which you prefer and why. Technology field btw

I moved into industry last summer after many years in consulting in a BD role (F100 healthcare company). I like my new company and the people I work with. Recently approached by a recruiter at a small healthcare company for a broader BD/strategy role with a step up in title. Haven’t been here a full year, but besides the tenure question, any other things to consider?

How much does Deloitte contribute to pension plan each year?

At what age/salary did you actually feel like you earned enough to have spending $? After HSA, IRA, 401k and MegaBackdoor Roth, rent, groceries I feel like I’m getting used to being on a shoestring budget until I hit over 250k
