2. Promotion timelines and salary scaling
3. Global staffing
4. Remote/Ability to work from anywhere

I’m at Strategy& now. You can work your entire career remotely if you want to (this was my biggest surprise in a negative way).

Biggest positive surprise is how helpful and understanding everyone is. A lot more welcoming and enjoyable than people on this app made it seem.

So is there not much co-location then?

What do you expect will be better than your situation at bcg currently? Here are my quick thoughts

1. Lots of courses available due to the pwc scale, quality is alright
2. On avg slower than bcg i assume (eye balling off my network)… but probably easier on up or out. Salary scaling might be comparable when you look at base and bonus only but benefits far inferior
3. Global staffing is very difficult at s&, very rare
4. Remote working is actually well executed by pwc, culturally the leadership encourages so this is one thing pwc does right

28yo single male, no debt, 110k income, LCOL (Dallas). I've been living fairly frugally, maxing out 401k and reached 170k NW.

I kind of want to splurge on a LUXURY ($2,100/mo) apartment. It's an amazing place, high rise, 20th floor, large balcony, floor to ceiling windows, loft style in the middle of the nicest part in Dallas 🥰😍

1) would my application even get approved due to my income?
