Currently have two offers LEK and S& Deals. Since it's similar work and I really like people at both of the firms, my choice will come down to $$. Which firm pays more at the SA / Consultant level and which firm has the higher compensation upside?

S& hands down. LEK is a sweatshop. I also hear S& pay is pretty good vs. market, but that’s from what I’ve heard, no hard stats 🤷‍♂️

like

Seems like the rest of S& has a better WLB that than Deals Strategy team 😂. But it sounds like hours across both DS and LEK are similar.

I would avoid LEK.

Money is good, but I’ve heard consistently from friends working about how toxic the culture is.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
