Debating on returning to PwC for a consulting role. Should I take the referral in (higher salary but less WLB) or stay in industry as FP&A analyst?

Would you feel more motivated / engaged in a higher-intensity role? What’s the order of magnitude in comp increase?

Good point! My only hesitation would be the WLB with a growing family

Up to how much you value WLB.

For me personally, I’d never go back to public/client services.

How long were you in public? Do you think it was worth it being there a while starting off your career?

Hi all,

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done.

Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
