Applying to PwC’s entry level consulting positions...

How does PwC’s “Management Consulting Associate” compare to Strategy&?

Will I hurt my chances of getting an interview if I apply to both?

Higher level corporate strategy work at Strategy &. But it's also true that most of their projects are Commercial Due Diligence.

Basically it depends on the projects you want to do and build your skill set around as well.

If I personally was given a choice between pureplay management/strategy consulting at S& and PwC - I'd go with S&

But then there's so many categories within management consulting (for ex. Something more tech-related) - in that case PwC might be a better option.

Strategy& is viewed as more elite and is compensated better. Meant to compete with other strategy firms

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
