I was wondering about culture and work ethic so thanks for bringing that up. Just worried in a way about brand recognition, though the work they want to do aligns more closely to my background than the random projects I get staffed at PwC. Was there a big difference in the quality of people you worked with at boutique vs your peeps at Deloitte???

I came from a boutique and I have worked with some in the past and I would not recommend. Work maybe relevant depends if you are fine with firms playing by their own rules not very ethical

What firm op

K1 what didn't you like about them? K2 -- sorry can't tell :)

But it's a 100+ people firm so not really tiny but also not a big4

Highly unethical and no set in place policies were followed. Upper management pretty much dictated everything

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?
