Why would anyone go to RSM over A&M? Genuinely curious

like

I know several from HCOL who have gone there and are very happy (got a huge pay increase - def not A&M $). I’m also genuinely curious - hence this comment/question.

I’ve heard plenty of positive things about A&M. In addition to the pay, you’re working with highly motivated intelligent people. Culture is more cutthroat, but some people like that. You’re working up to 50% more hours than RSM (getting paid for it) so you’re bound to develop faster as well.

Coming from Big4 can echo the better culture and work life balance, even in times like this. The comp at RSM relative to big 4 is also better.

I’ve seen a lot go to A&M and really happy there.

K2 - which office? I’m seeing the exact opposite.

I’ve heard good things about RSM culture, better WLB. If you just care about the money, A&M is the move.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)
