Hi Deloitte fishies, Do you need a CPA to join as a senior consultant? I am in the process of taking the exams but might not have the title till next year. I do not expect to be up for manager promotion till at least 2 years.

My husband has worked for Deloitte for 1 year as a senior consultant. He was able to negotiate a much higher salary when joining because he was a CPA. You don’t need it to join but definitely let them know you’re taking the exams and ask if there is a bonus or incentive for you getting it

I’m in a bit of a unique situation where I’m deciding between MBB and MM private equity (both NYC, I have ~2.5 YOE).

Main considerations are money and WLB, especially weekends. I’d be curious to hear perspectives on WLB differences between the two either anecdotally or from people who have experienced both. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
