Hi All, I got an offer from Deloitte India (lower ctc) and KPMG Global Services (higher ctc) into deal advisory role. The salary difference is not very much but I'm confused now which one to join. In both the companies I have to work with international clients. And if I ditch Deloitte will they blacklist me for future or not?

What is the “Part Time Associate” or PTA position? Is this an internship or something?
Does any of the MBB+T2 in the US have such position?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I recruited directly to a FT position and have little clue about how the internship system works. I haven’t seen my firm (one of T2s) offering the “PTA” position.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

ORD - first the flight is delayed, then they can't find a gate, and to top it off, once they get to the gate, they can't find any ground crew to deplane the flight - thanks United!
