Be honest, does company name matter. Looking to exit and some nice startups have approached me. They have less than a 100 employees. Pay is double my current pay.

It does not matter after a point. Company name doesn’t pay the bills. If you’ve already got a couple of good names on the resume, go for it!

I agree. And contrary to what weirdos on this app like to say, the Deloitte name has clout in the real world

likesmarthelpful

I would also echo that (anecdotally) I’ve seen way more people recognize Deloitte than any other firm (big 4, MBB, etc.)

Is it largely equity? Remember that could always end up being worthless…

FWIW Deloitte had better name recognition than any other consulting firm at every startup I was at before McKinsey. Good luck!

It kinda depends on your area of focus. I made the jump to KPMG from a very small company, this was possible only because I’m in a niche space.

Look at who else works there. Where did they go to school (not that it matters, but it says something if all the PMs are from Stanford)? Where else have they worked? What have they done so far professionally? Lots of these emerging unicorn startups attract top talent where you can make some crazy networking connections. In terms of credentials I’m the “dumbest” person at my startup and I love that in terms of what it means for my network

It depends. You'll have likely better networking at a larger company, which could help down the road. Additionally if your next job is in a different role, the name could matter more or less depending on the role.

All said, I still picked comp/fit over name personally.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
