Cant believe I wasted my time applying to KPMG. They offered me one level below my current rank with a promise of promotion after 6 months (because they did not have budget for the learning curve)

Which group? They are also being difficult with me on FSS. Offer is what I’d get sticking to my current firm after next salary increase... what motivation is there

Economics & Valuation in LA. They’re unbelievable. If they don’t have enough cash flow to hire someone/lure anyone from a better firm, then they should not be extending offers

It’s all relative, I suppose.

I gained a 40K salary increase when I recently joined, at the same (Manager) level - also in the LA office

Advisory, Management Consulting - now known as just “Consulting”

I’m in same boat! Interviewing with KPMG and lowering one level when coming in.

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis? When I’ve worked with service designers the output seems to be another version of a process map, are there other skills and experience needed? I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.

Hi everyone,

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.
