Hi, I am new to Canada and currently living in Vancouver, BC. I was looking for opportunities in the Financial Services industry in the Metro Vancouver Area. I have about 3 years of experience in the Banking/Financial Services and HealthTech industry and worked alongside IBM and PwC in developing and implementing cutting-edge FinTech products for business clients of a Financial Institution and led the Finance and data science team at a Health tech startup. Let me know if anyone can help me.

Interviewed at Deloitte, PwC and EY for Advisory Senior Consultant role. Deloitte offered $105K (plus $5K bonus), PWC offered $127K (plus $15K bonus) and EY offered $155K (plus $10K bonus). Surprised with the difference in pay between Deloitte & EY for same role. Is Deloitte Advisory paying less compared to other firms? 4.5YOE in Consulting.

D1 has no idea what he’s talking about. Gamma personalization cases (like the Starbucks rewards program) almost all use Spark, and you’ll be expected to productionize a pipeline from scripts to DAGs. There’s also computer vision, geofencing, optimization cases. Obviously can’t name names, but Gamma cases routinely work on products that are strategically critical to the biggest names in business.
And no, there is no Excel. It doesn’t make sense to hire DSs and pay them 50k more than most consulting competitors (at entry level, with the gap widening after that) just to put them on low level analysis that generalists are better at anyway.
I was in a coop and won’t rejoin the company until next year, so can’t refer. But happy to talk more about what to expect with the work and recruitment process
Currently at a FAANG but was previously gamma. Did a lot of large scale production recommender system work in eCommerce & and some optimization work. Practice had also deployed schedule optimization platforms for multiple airlines, work that has large operational impact and a solid level of sophistication.
Not sure where D1 gets their exp from. My peers at McKinsey/QB have also had some interesting projects. I also went tech for WLB but did consider staying, but just my 0.02.
What role did you exit to? MLE or DS
Don't know what D1 is talking about. It seems like ACN and Big 4 people like to shit on MBB tech for some reason... Gamma does really cool projects with a heavy emphasis on personalization and recommendation. Most people have advanced technical degrees but not required. Happy to refer or answer any other questions here in the comments. Also, everyone I know who has left has exited to FAANG or large companies with prominent roles. Our CTO just left to lead Google Cloud I believe.
Also everything is done in python/spark/postgres etc. I have done virtually nothing in excel and PowerPoint and storytelling is obviously important in consulting so don't know why D1 is knocking that, but this work is usually done by the leads and above. Junior employees almost exclusively code which is nice
Definitely cool but short term 9 out of 10 POC like projects.
Follow for a refer to BCG gamma or BCG consulting. Coming from D
D1 if you must persist with these vague statements about the work that we do and our capability at least come with an informed and data driven argument/perspective.
If you are good with tech avoid BCG and it’s brothers and sisters.
No worries mate, till we have StackOverflow.
Again if you are good with software engineering avoid BCG. Fancy stuff fades fast and is small in scope.
