Considering leaving EY for Scimitar (boutique for those who are unaware) because of great pay and culture fit. If I decide to recruit back into big 4 life Sci consulting from scimitar, will it be more difficult than if I stayed in big consulting?

Interesting question. I imagine if you should be able to either pivot back to EY or other Big 4 as an experienced hire, because you would then become an LS specialist, especially if you develop specific LS skill set at the boutique. I doubt the fact that the shop is a boutique will hurt your chances, but I’m unsure.

Following this post, because I don’t know the answer.

Consulting and Senior Consultant

Update: Ended up accepting a role with Scimitar and was pleasantly surprised about the comp (higher base, higher bonus, and way better 401K plan) even with me being a senior consultant in the highest pay band (post MBA)

Hi, would love to connect to talk about Scimitar. Potentially looking to interview Witt them!

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

I want to be in private equity because I want to make a lot of money. I want to be in FAANG because I want to do interesting work but make only slightly more money than I’m making now.

I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out which to pursue.
