Fish fam ! HELP HELP HELP !!!!

Been going back & forth on my decision with two good offers ! Need some outside perspective

1. EYP Director - 205k base + 10k joining bonus
2. A&M PEPI MAS Manager - 150k base + 55k guarantee year end bonus + 33k joining bonus

I’m leaning towards A&M but here are my concerns

1 Have heard mixed reviews on culture
2 I have limited DD experience
3 Heard working hours are crazy (thinking of starting a family soon)
4 Not sure about exit ops in case I don’t fit

I’m a big fan of guarantees. Guaranteed 205 base sounds great plus you’re coming in at a higher level.

My recommendation: If you are about to start a family then I would take the safety net of EY and guaranteed base of $205k. Your performance will dip the next 2-3 years as you will go through a big transition - a place like EY will be able to better support that transition.

Your target comp at A&M is over $300k. $215k as a manager would be a pretty bad year. But it is possible.

OP, I would easily take a competing offer that with a likelihood of over 100% bonus. If D1, with 160 base has made 400k (each) in two years, is representative of the sample.. that ends the discussion!

I’ve not worked at any other consulting firm. I like my colleagues and I’m not working more than 50-55 hours typically. I make more than I would make most other firms, and firms that pay about the same I hear (anecdotally) to be more hours and higher stress. (ie MBB; Alixpartners is probably the exception to this). I’m not looking to exit so “prestige” is not a factor for me. And if I exit it will be to PE Ops as a first stop.

I’m in a different part of PEPI but unless you are only doing ITDD you should have plenty of IMO engagements that are very manageable. IMO bores me to tears but it is not high stress or high burn in my opinion at all.

Mck1 why ?

Thanks everyone, I am interested in evaluating the two offers based on a holistic approach and not just based on TC. All comments are appreciated though :)

Go to A&M.

SM1 why ?

I'd go for the guaranteed base at EYP over the shiny maybe from A&M

Thanks D1, other than money what else makes you prefer A&M over other firms ?

Thanks D2, are you MAS ?

EYP. Base is king.
Bonus is guaranteed till it’s not. And what about in future years?
EYP has been adding lots more benefits too, definitely paying attention to culture and making their people happy

Did you exit to Mck after working at EYP ? Ran some numbers and the difference is close if 1-1.5 k per month after taxes ! So money difference is not HUGE ! Now the question is culture and exit op !

I’d take the higher title and bounce after a year to a&m as a director.

Titles are the same level

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
