I am. It's pretty great actually, you have to search for the projects you want but overall everyone is really bright, friendly, and helpful. We also have a big need for seniors and associates as we are a bit top heavy. Because the group is relatively small in size, leadership really makes an effort to foster the community feel. There also seems so be a strange lack of incompetent managers and directors. Lastly, thus far I've seen zero pure PMO, or staff aug projects that a lot of people complain about. I'd say 8/10 overall and 10/10 if FS is your thing.

I’m a junior and I have the opportunity to join the employment and benefits group as a specialist. The alternative is VC/M&A.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
