PwC will be good experience but you’ll work a lot of hours. We are super understaffed right now. The manager role likely has a better WLB and I would think allows an exit to more senior opportunities.

You may want to consider salary/compensation growth within 5, 10 years. Likely a very big difference. PwC will open more doors in the future if you decide to go industry later. You will grow and gain exposure to more things in consulting and also be more challenged. If you care more about WLB now, go industry.

100% agree. I’ve been in both, and can tell you that your learnings in B4 are about 2-3x what you learn in industry. Also, at this stage in your career, your salary increases will be higher than industry, so build that base now. You will still have plenty of career time left to spend in industry.

You don’t want to work for SBD. Company culture is toxic. It’s a fairly old school company, management is old school. There’s no growth.

The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
