Deloitte GPS Business Analyst vs Mercer Health Consulting Analyst?
Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)

Adding onto what M2 said. WLB is pretty good for a PE shop. Not a sweatshop at all IMO. Typical week is 50-55 hours (+/- 5...yes minus isn’t rare). Work across multiple industries but a ton of tech as expected in MM PE. Good office leadership and decent transparency. Firm colleagues are generally nice people. Firm goal is to keep growing, given recent PE buyout. Comp was decent to date and has gone up this year due to strong business over the last couple of years, recent PE funding, and growth goals (hence a desire to stay moderately competitive). The CDD/strategy/sell-side is probably 60/25/15%.
What level are you (possibly) applying for?
SD1, Directors sure look like they work more, but obviously the focus of their work is first and foremost selling and secondarily oversight of ongoing projects led by (senior) managers. They get involved in every client call and often weekly internal meetings, review documents closely, sometimes joint primary research calls, etc. Their plate of work is dependent on how much they sell and how complex their projects are. I don’t think directors are unplugged from projects at all just a little less involved in the day to day. I’d estimate it’s more like ~65 hours a week on average for them but probably a very different (worse) level of stress as it’s their rep and projects on the line?
No idea about exits at that level. Also, there have been few Directors in recent years (and that too ones that have left) to really draw any sort of meaningful conclusions from. You’ll probably get the best answer from a LinkedIn search on alumni.
I work at Stax now - feel free to DM to chat. We’re PE-focused, 60% CDD. Broad range of investor clients - mega funds to smaller growth equity shops. We mostly compete against EYP/LEK - and to be honest, I think we offer better WLB at comparable pay against both those.
Avoid. Due diligence sweat shop with little upside. More of a college internship if you ask me.
Just interviewed with them and spoke extensively with people both inside and outside the firm to do my research. Feel free to DM in case you'd want to chat.
