Hi all - I am looking to move into the world of brand strategy consulting (KPMG has customer consulting division but brand and marketing aren't that strong. Also KPMG UK is the only one of big 4 that has not bought an agency!!). Wanted to hear some advice on the options: go to a boutique (like Lippincott, Prophet) or brand agency? The salary cut for agency is huge though. Are there other options?

If you have some credibility banked internally, I would find a partner who’s interested in letting you build it at KPMG. (Or hire me to do it, I’ve already built a brand strategy consulting practice at an agency that didn’t have one.)

The team's strategy is moving in a different direction sadly... if I want to work in that space moving elsewhere is the only option really

Are you in the UK? Prophet is not a salary cut compared to big 4.

Personally think Horizon Next has great strategy & planning teams and are very competitive when it comes to pay. Might be lower than consulting of course by the higher levels do get paid very well since they want to keep their talent with knowledge of their proprietary analytics models

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
