OW much better brand . On average more intelligent lot, but also more social awkwards who can’t work with each other. More international travel in OW. Culture depends on team in either place

Ow pays marginally better and has bigger bonuses

Pay is about 50% better at OW than big 4 (minus strategy arms)

50% better lol what

Had offers from both and the difference was large! Caveating their strategy arms

I would say OW. Very strong firm. I think they’re just below MBB, and they have similar salary, WLB, exit opps. Little bit less known firm, less prestige, but still a great experience. My ex worked there and really enjoyed it. She was on track to make partner in 8 years after undergrad which is because they offer great career progression and you don’t need an MBA
