Does completing a year in a more technical role at a big 4 firm count for anything when applying for entry level at mbb?

Entry level at MBB is very generalist so it’s unlikely to make a material difference compared to one year in other roles at B4.

Aspects that will be more important than level of technicality: problem solving / client exposure / confidence with numbers / cross-industry experience / performance under pressure / working with ambiguity / etc. So if your technical role helps with those, then great!

What skills did you pick up in your current role? What are the skills you need in a consulting role? If there is overlap than yes, if there isn’t then no.

Would you consider your current a Consulting role or more of a Software Developer type role? If the former, then yes. If the latter, then the technicals are unlikely to matter too much. The soft skills you pick up would be much more important.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

EY Deloitte PwC people - would you leave your current employer for a 15%-25% total comp difference? This translates to a 25-45k difference per annum, largely driven by bonus at the new firm (20-40%), much smaller than my current employer. Doesn’t feel like a great exit opportunity - currently at big 4 this would be moving to a niche consulting company

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
