Would you accept a title loss to move from T2 to MBB? Really good impression from practice and partners, however would bump from Manager to Senior Consultant level.

Up for promo ~12 months post joining, with initial hit in comp being mitigated with signing bonus. Would be a bump as soon as promo goes through.

However would mean ~1yoe seniority loss (although quite early in career)

Can anyone share what the career levels are for Deloitte’s FP&A Business Partner organization?

I have 3.5 yrs experience in IT project management, and I am interested in consulting. Based on compensation rates, I am open to entry-level (associate) positions at MBB firms. Is it a better idea to apply to entry-level positions now, apply as an EH to a Big4, or wait a few months to have the strongest application? I am looking at generalist consulting, not tech/IT specific.

What is your recommended “housing affordability” methodology? Why?
I’ve seen:

Really curious: Does anyone know what’s the history behind the huge gap between Big 4 jobs in the US and in Europe? While it seems it’s a prestigious job with good pay in the US, over here in Europe their bar for hiring is rather low and the pay is really uncompetitive (not speaking of the strategy arms like EYP or Strategy&)
Edit: I am not comparing US salary to Europe but comparing the two jobs within the county/continent with other alternatives of the candidates + the reputation
