Consulting firms leading in cyber security /cyber audit etc? Outside of the traditional big firms (big 4/MBB etc) looking to find niche players

Thank you

Does the size of the deals you work on impact your exit opps? I'm considering a role at an MM firm (non-PA firm) and they mentioned the deals are usually in the $200M area of size, which I realize is smaller than big 4 deals

What are some cool perks/ benefits at PE firms? I know it isn’t close to MBB but anything?

Big 4 EAs: How many partners do you support? How many do you think is realistic for the pay and your sanity?

Anyone else with big 4 experience looking to find a rewarding career path with an undergrad degree in accounting? What career options are out there without having to go back to school?

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Hi Folks having YOE of 3.7 yrs in IT, any chance to move to any one of MBB

Anyone ever boomeranged from one Big 4 to another and then came back to the initial Big 4? If so what was the reason?

What is the average Manager salary in Netherlands? (4 big or MBB or boutiques)

How is performance measured at MBB?

Any idea on how the domestic PE by funds pay vs mbb

Currently a senior interested in consulting but a mix of coming from a non target and requiring sponsorship has me losing hope. Any recommendations on how to proceed with recruiting? I've been told only MBB will sponsor entry level consultants. I have both VC and Consulting experiences through internships.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

I’m in a final round interview with EY for entry level roles. Does it affect me negatively if my recruiter knows that I’ve offer from multiple other big 4 firms? I received a form to fill where It asks for any offers that I already have.

How do people get interview call from Accenture Strategy & Consulting? I am an MBA from tier 2, 5 YoE post MBA in Financial Risk. Currently working with a Big 4.

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

Is MBB serious about DEI? How is the environment for minorities (both at the bottom and top, including for East/South Asians)

I see lot of posts on hike and performance bonus.. Performance bonus is your variable pay right? Does big 4 really pay more than 100% variable pay!?

I have offer from Deloitte USI and KPMG global services. I am planning to join KPMG.. does KGS also pay good hike amd more than 100% performance bonus like deloitte?

Looking for referrals at MBB/S&/OW/Kearney in their Dubai/Doha/Riyadh offices for my sister since she can’t join Fishbowl. She graduated from top Canadian uni (UofT/McGill/UBC), grew up in ME and has an impressive academic background and work experience. Happy to connect with her directly.

Hoping this gets more traction as most are WFH. Also happy I just found this bowl.

Long shot here, but does anyone have a google sheet / excel document with a list of all potential Advertising Award Show submissions that you would be able to share? Including deadlines for 2021/2022?

Just curious- how many 🐠 on this bowl are on OPT/ h1b (H) and how many have GC/citizenship (C)?

Why is everyone here so triggered by the White Tiger? That’s how the majority of India lives, please get outside your white collar bubbles. And stop saying “the media always shows poverty”, they also released shows like Bollywood Wives and Indian Matchmaking.

I’m conflicted: Soul (the movie): yay, meh or nay? I liked it, but woke Twitter opinions are affecting me.

I heard food is free in exl is that true

How do you know that this is your person? Can you choose someone even though your ideals, philosophies, and lifestyle are very different or are you essentially settling?

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

Anyone find it hard to sleep in Hyatt? Or is this just me?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing). It sounds great, but I am worried about the disruption this industry is facing with Robo advisors and other low cost, DIY options. I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!
