does the big 4 you worked at really matter in terms of exit ops? I struggle to think other prospective employers are going to weigh them that much differently

It's DU. You go and they funnel pro Deloitte propaganda down your throat like they're trying to make consulting foie gras

my thoughts exactly. too many people in Deloitte (not even S & O) have "big dick syndrome" and for the love of god I do not know why

like

A lot of people here drink the kool-aid and are just mediocre people with no discernible skills or knowledge. I just don't give a fuck and that why I'm mediocre.

I think Deloitte S&O might be considered a little above the rest, but if the employer only knows by name and not group, then likely similar.

I know this app likes to shit on Deloitte, but their exit ops are noticeably better. You see more Deloitte (and strategy&) people working with mixed teams of ex-MBB post-consulting, than you see ex-D's working with the other big-4.

Deloitte is definitely more highly regarded by recruiters and exit op hiring managers. Just do four searches using each Big 4 name and see how many jobs turn up related to strategic roles.

D2 couldn't have said it better myself.

This applies to S&O, not sure about tech and HC, and certainly doesn't apply to advisory.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Crushed my final two interviews today. I will hear back sometime next week for a verbal offer for a Tech Solutions Consultant on the xWS team. Leaning towards an L4 but maybe they give L5 if the interview feedback was as good as I thought it went. Any thoughts on how I should negotiate base and equity? Maybe ask for sign on too?

Any consulting -> Tech sales people out there? Curious how consulting experience is perceived both from a compensation and placement standpoint in the tech world…? What should my expectation be?

Wanted to get broad exposure & become a more analytical problem solver… dont regret my decision at all but really loved sales and would like to get back around my 2-3 yr mark.
