It only is a thing if you make it a thing. If you keep going “well when I was at Deloitte / Accenture / KPMG / PwC....” then yeah people get tired of that real quick (actually had a girl in my class do that a lot), but if you don’t make a big deal out of it no one else does. Hell most people won’t even know you came from there besides HR anyways so you don’t even have to say it if you’re self conscious about it.

When I meet people who have pre-BCG consulting experience I'm usually more impressed than anything. I actually envy them a bit because I feel like they have a leg up already and can get promoted faster :)

Exception maybe for fresh laterals at PL and above. Being managed by somebody who is used to a completely different work culture can be challenging.

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
