Hey! Joining the firm next month. Some stupid questions:
What type of laptop they give you? any BYOD option? Mac option?
What tools do the use? do they use office 365 and teams or other?
Cheers!

Welcome! Regarding laptops – I think you’ll love your company laptop as long as you don’t value speed, reliability, battery life, etc!

Good luck…

Welcome aboard. Standard issue hardware is an HP device which nobody seems to enjoy. I think there are BYOD options, but haven’t explored them personally. I doubt Mac is an option given how excel heavy most practices are. O365 and Teams are the standard

Great! Thanks!

A&M is a place to work hard and have a great bonus. It’s not a place to have a great laptop if you haven’t gotten that yet from the other comments.

Mac is an option for SD & MD, but no one else. We used to have Lenovo, but currently on HP EliteBooks. In PEPI, at least.
You cannot BYO laptop, though you can use your own phone.

Back to Lenovo

The recruiter said the pay would be 82K with a 10K sign on bonus? Is this enough? Thank you in advance 😊😊😊

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response” -Viktor Frankl

What do you do when you make the wrong career choice?

Forgive yourself. No one is perfect. You are learning. Wrong choices are part of the learning process.

Ask for forgiveness if your choice negatively impacted another.

Work on recognizing the space between stimulus and response. Ask for help if you need it.

All of the above will help you make a better choice next time.

Anyone here choose between A&M, Alix, and some other usual suspect consulting companies? What made you pick A&M? Do employees generally tend to stick around? How is the culture, decent folks or sharp elbows everywhere? Is the total comp as good as advertised or is this false advertising? I have offers from A&M and Alix and Strat& and am trying to decide soon. Not just looking at comp, but looking to work hard at a place where I can learn a lot too and like the people around me.

Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?
