Hi guys!

This may seem like a generic question, but what do you think is better- working in PwC or the startup/ industry? Lot of points to consider like:
-Work from home
- Flexible work timing
-brand name
-higher salary
-different speaking language
-less work pressure
etc.

Honestly depends on a lot. What group at PWC, what’s the funding situation like at the startup, what would your role be, what’s the comp difference?

As someone who is in my second spell at a big 4 after being at a startup, I’d much prefer to work at a startup. I found the work more meaningful and interesting compared to the blah big 4 work.

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.
