Hey, I recently got two job offers. I know my end goal is more strategy focused role , maybe some quantitative aspects probably in real estate or tech. My first offer is in Deloitte GPS Advisory as an Analyst, total comp is 95k. My other offer is for BTS (boutique consulting firm) in strategy execution with total comp being from 88-93k. If I stay with BTS, I’ll save a lot of money longer term. Which would you recommend? Is boutique strategy a bad place to start compared to big 4 advisory?

Don't do gps Deloitte if you value sanity

I found it terribly disorganized, understaffed and limited opportunities to grow as I was not passionate about gps work

Do you have a sense of the clients and scope of work at BTS?

Hey, yeah some of the clients were Coca Cola, Chevron, VMWare, GE, Prudential, Oracle, Nike Macy’s and etc.

As a GPS Senior Consultant at Deloitte, I highly recommend Deloitte as a place to work. The company has a strong brand name and the number of hours you work per week will depend on the specific project you are assigned to. Good luck with your decision

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.
