MBB consultants have better adderrall prescriptions

I saw in an earlier post that pwc and Deloitte MBAs were offered 145 and 135...I did interview with McKinsey for a hot second and they were offering 130-140 for associate level, so I imagine the salaries r the same. They have to be, u have to compete in the market

From what I've heard it's jus strategy vs not strategy. I think MBB and big 4 strategy are pretty similar work wise and compensation wise. But the culture/bonuses might be better at MBB

Big 4 strategy vs. MBB strategy is similar work and bother recruit from just the top 10-15 MBA schools. I would argue culture is better at Big 4...

Read many benchmarking studies...comp is $10k off (MBB higher) but bonuses at MBB are higher until you get up a few levels and it evens out

I think all of them are about the same at the MBA entry level ( MBB May pay slightly higher but ACN/D has higher sign on)...where it starts diverging between MBB and Big 4 is at the M level and above

"What're the biggest qualitative differences between this group of 10s of thousands of people and this other group of 10s of thousands of people?"

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

I'm 32 and looking to make a career change. Previously I've been in sales, sales QA and some analyst position. I want to transition into learning programming and decided the best roadmap for me would be to learn Salesforce, land an entry level admin job and develop my skills over time to transition into programming.

How realistic is it to go from no computer science degree, to getting Salesforce certs and an admin role?

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

I’ve spent 4 years in Big 4, with about half that time in FDD. I feel like Corp Dev is what I ultimately want, but am wondering if a stint in banking could be worth it. If I’m not interested in PE or other buyside alternatives, is the pit stop in IB worth it?
Mainly wonder if IB is a must have box to check, or if you can work your way up the ladder without.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

How did current in-house attorneys find their positions? I am currently in big law with 3 years of experience. Seems that most recruiters can only help me lateral to other big law firms.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!
