From lots of other threads: There’s certainly overlap with acquired businesses that still have some autonomy (mostly S&). For others, campus offers overlap, but trajectory diverges quickly

Nope. The B4 matches / gets close on post MBA base (they have to), but then bonus falls way behind from Y1 onwards. S& comes close, but falls behind at AP.

Ex S& here. No

The best strategy nowadays is implementation, who cares.

S& is roughly consistent with MBB base + bonus at least until Partner (assume it diverges once you’re on the partner track). That said our retirement and healthcare benefits are materially worse.

MBB have ‘Cadillac plans’ that are essentially free (no premium, minimal to no deductible and copay), whereas S& shares a plan with PwC that, like most companies, costs a premium and comes with a harsh deductible (1k-3k individual). Retirement is 5.5% firm match at the post-MBA level but on a 5 year vesting schedule.

If you’ve relatively healthy the healthcare cost is minimal, but the retirement plan adds up especially if you don’t fully vest.

I had an offer toS& for associate that was lower than Deloitte.

Leaving my current job for a career pivot. Current job has been challenging to say the least and senior management never hears what others have to say. Employment is an at will state.
Senior leadership is so unforgiving that I fear by giving notice, I’ll be asked to leave and lose out on two weeks pay.
Thoughts and feedback on not giving notice or reducing the typical two weeks?
Thank you!

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
