Advice for switching from a smaller consulting firm to a mbb firm or big 4? What are the best consulting firms in Toronto that have the best growth and compensation? I am currently in a smaller consulting firm and joined recently out of university. Currently learning lots with a 10-12 year road to partner. I am only getting compensated 80-90k out of university. Just curious what the growth and compensation looks like in other big consulting firms in Toronto

Big 4 won’t compensate you more than why you’re getting right now as a new grad

You won’t get into MBB without an MBA. Most recruiting post university is for PE or IB folks trying to pivot.

Of the people I have referred only the IB folks got offers

Honestly 80-90k as a new grad is already pretty good

If you like the work you’re doing at your firm, stay for a while. Being at a smaller consulting firm has its perks as you’re given more ownership.

Staffing as an entry-level analyst is pretty hit or miss at some of these bigger firms. You could be on year-long implementations or PMO, which while can be educational, are not particularly sought after projects.

If you want to make the jump, do it after you’ve gotten a few years under your belt.

Big 4 pays 75k to new grads

What’s in it for them? 😆

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do.
