I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?
I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?
My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.
L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.
TC: 270K

I’ve gone back and forth a few times. Biggest differences (aside from client remit)…
- PR agencies there’s is less of a silo between roles. Everybody has more of a hand in the work that gets done. As an account person in advertising you don’t really have a say on creative or strategy or anything. You’re a business lead.
- in Ad agencies there are bigger budgets and because you’re working with marketing/brands teams instead of comms teams you have more of an impact on the brand and how it operates.
I did it. It took a few yrs until I found some ppl on the ad side within my agency who would give me a chance. The transition was easy except for technical lingo I learned quickly. I’m happy I made the switch bc I feel like I had two careers in one job.
Made the shift from PR to strat! Way happier.
Interesting, hadn’t seen this be an option yet! Those are the parts I enjoy too, recently moved to a fully media role and already know it’s not a fit.
