Big 4 Manager with 4.5 YOE (first job out of college) and have a start up opp now that I might take. Not that it’s very important but if I was to apply after 2 years of start up experience now, would that be better received vs. staying at the Big 4 vs. recruiting at MBB as a Consultant (hypothetically)?

Deloitte 2, how long did you do Deloitte/startup

Really interested as to how you made manager with 4.5 YOE as first job out of college. That alone is impressive

So 2 years to SA, 2 years to M, dead time in between from starting early / Covid? I thought it wasn’t that uncommon

smart

How lol.. 2 years associate... 2 years senior..-> manager. At Pwc you have to wait 3 years though it sucks

I’m at PwC - 2 years as an A > 2 years as an SA > dead time in between from starting early / COVID
