got an offer from D and S&. D's base is 165K, 15K in bonus and they will reimburse tuition for two years of school. S& is 190K and 30k bonus. I feel like the two are kind of the same in terms of prestige? I would go for D's S&A practice and the "generalist" practice at S&. Any thoughts? Idk how long I want to stay in consulting and I am location agnostic.

S& is considered more prestigious and will have better exit opps. However that tuition reimbursement is nice - what’s the value on it?

50 hours a week is the expectation for S&

One offer is good, the other is fantastic. I'd go with the fantastic offer.

S&. Not a question

S& even if the comp were similar

UPDATE: thank you all. i think im going to go with s&! feel pretty good about the decision. no shade to D though, it's a great firm but i think i got some data points on the projects at the two firms and i think s& does more pure strategy and engagement with c-suite which is pretty cool given that i was teaching inner city 6 graders math not too long ago.

Hot take: I think D is the way to go here, assuming you’re not looking to stay in consulting long-term. D will have similar exit opps (and larger network), similar pay (factoring in tuition reimbursement over a 2-3 year time horizon) and better wlb

funnylike

But OP already said the D offer is $40k less per year…

What’s S&? I ask this humbly lol

LOL all good. Strategy&, used to be Booz and then PwC bought it.

I second D2, the tuition reimbursement is 2 programs

GSAP, which is full reimbursement of MBA. Super competitive to get this, and only for a handful of top schools. Also, if you are coming in at 165k I assume it is a SC role. You will not get gsap as a experienced hire SC, since you need 2 years of stellar performance to be considered for GSAP.

And then there is the loser NTAP which is only 10k a year of tuition reimbursement, buch easier to get and less restrictions.

I’d go to S& tbh. Deloitte Strat is a lot of tech strat work and PMO, not a lot of core strat work

like

S& will also do tuition reimbursement for $100/month up to 6 years or until you get promoted to a certain level. Not nearly as much as D but still not nothing.

D -> 165+15+120 (tuition on the low end?)=300
S& -> 190+30=210

Pretty simple decision in my books

funnyhelpful

Everything S1 said, plus the tuition reimbursement is only $30k (OP stated this in another thread). No idea if that’s total or per year for say 2-3 years, sounded like it was total being offered to cover MBA cost, but still.

Simple equation: would you pay $40k a year for prestige?

like

Good point…

Do not go to D if you can go to S&

Deloitte folks always brag about their MBA pay, 165K seems low in comparison to the numbers they quote. Make sure you're not getting shafted

Counter Deloitte, mention the comp of the other company. See if they can match it. If not, then def S&, no question. Your mba reimbursement is only valued at 30k per another post so the math for Deloitte doesn’t shake out at all. Not to mention, what you make now will drive future earnings even after you leave either of these companies. Take the higher comp.

I would pick D because they are harder to get into than Harvard

Joking aside, i would probably pick S&. Is S&A the legacy Monitor group at D? Surprised that the D offer is so much lower than S&

Are you referring to GSAP for tuition reimbursement? If so it is highly competitive and not automatic by any means.
