I worked with the CAO at IBM and am an external consultant at IBM GBS so I have insights into both internal consulting and external consulting. I’d take the Deloitte one and try to raise their number. If you stay at IBM long enough, it’s hard to exit to a good opportunity. I’m dying to get into Deloitte these days. Don’t make the mistake I made. Ppl don’t value IBMer’s consulting skills that much. Deloitte has a much better brand recognition if you want to stick to strategy/consulting/business management

CAO just got new leadership, so it’s hard to say where the team will be in a year.

Yes, I would expect the Chief _Analytics_ Office to be very analytical. Your point about being stuck in a project is well-taken though. I saw people stuck, but I was able to successfully push back to move around. They did start a program a year ago or so that was designed to let new hires take rotations, but I can’t say how successful that has been

1st off - congrats on the offers. 105 out of UG is incredible and you should definitely take it.

That said, this is exactly what’s wrong with IBM. We’re hiring people out of UG into $105K internal roles and our client-facing team members who bring in revenue are making 90-110 after 2 years of experience. This company, man....

Lol I used to work at ibm... I’d be very careful about what they call strategy consulting. I would also pick Deloitte.

Go with IBM for 1-2 years then jump to Deloitte. They will pay you more knowing that you make more.

Surprise to see ibm offers 6 figure for UG! Their MBA grad pay barely made the market average this year...not to mention MBAs from 2-3 years ago that got screwed big time

Deloitte. Both IBM and Deloitte have gone through layoffs but I think Deloitte has more promise in terms of growth and D S&O has a great reputation.

My head hurts at the idea of paying a new grad $105k salary. However I’m happy for you and wish my kid did that.

Any IBM 🐠 want to shoot a referral my way?

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years?

So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
