Curious what other firms use for materiality for profitable public companies? When I was at kpmg it was 5% of pretax, but curious if other forms use something different

Ours is dependent on the kind of client, but it can be a threshold of pretax, revenues, assets, net assets, etc. - most common I see is 2-3% of revenues

5% is industry standard

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.
