Got an offer with BCG Gamma for a software engineering role. Comp is about 30% higher than what I make (95k vs 125k). Should I hold out and try for a tech co like FAANG?

Based on the comp, is this for a software engineering internship? 🤣

Negative :(

I thought we raised base to 132/144 from 120. In any case if you're in the process with FAANG you should probably hold out.

So a company I interviewed with took me to the final round but rejected me for an architect role. Then, two months later the hiring manager hits me up for a manager role he thought I would be a good fit before the job was posted. We had a call and he said he thought I would be a long shot replying back to him. Also, he said everyone liked me and no need to interview. He said he has to post it and let HR do their thing before he can make a final decision. Why post a job if you want me for it?

RX Consultants (in the US) how difficult is your day to day? Does the legal aspect show serious difficulty especially as you gain seniority (and thus more responsibility/strategy)....and does it stay interesting? Especially those of you who came from an accounting background versus finance (or if you know of colleagues who came from accting background and their story).
Also welcoming horror stories/your worst day as an RX consultant, since they can be hilarious and somewhat telling of the job.
