Finished my MBA and recieved a Senior Consultant offer from EY (3YOE). The pay (90 base+ 10 signing) is what I was making in manufacturing ops pre-MBA (with a guaranteed raise of 10% every year). Negotiating the pay right now but is it worth switching to consulting and taking this "pay cut"? Is the big4 grind worth?

I thought all consulting starts MBA on 165k base that’s weird

That’s pre mba level comp

I am confused. EY started you on pre MBA pay when you have an MBA?

Is this Canada?

There is a “Queen’s” in many other places and countries

Yeah im in Canada. EY1, reachout to me at timmyboy8686@gmail.com. Ill update your doc once I hear back from them.

Ha... so the number i went back to them with is higher than what a manager gets...

The Canadian market is very different than US. On average, there is at least 20-30 percent less in comp in absolute terms

Hi Fishes, I am a Talend ETL developer with 2.2 yrs of exp at TCS. But I have not learned that much in the current project I am in, it's all migration and excels now😅. So, now I want to shift to a product based startup or mid level company in React JS technology for which I have already started preparation separately. Also thinking of giving resignation as my current project is affecting my mental state. Please give me insights on this as to how I should proceed and how to prepare.

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

Hi, I’m currently an undergraduate freshman studying computer science at Rutgers university. I was wondering if I could get a referral for any freshman internships related to CS and/or leads for companies that offer such internships.
I have experience in Python, SQL and and R, along with a few personal projects.

A few months ago I posted my resume here and a couple people said it was too long, 4 pages. I took a step back and was about to change it. Reading it I realized, those four pages truly captured ME and my experience.

Not even 2 weeks after I decided to trust myself, I was offered a Director position in the field I love!

I share that to say, take time to learn yourself. So you know when to take the advice of others or when to TRUST YOU!
