Huron. Very happy here

like

Start at Huron learn the business in a more collaborative environment —you can always get a job at the big 4 later on... lots of Huron folks do that—-also a lot come back to Huron. Good luck

When I was there 6-7 years ago KPMG was trying to grow their RC capability, so it was a weird mix of having the B4 brand name but in the background scrambling a bit like a start up. B4 culture, in my experience, is a lot of good people but too many personalities that are too big for their britches. Also a lot of folks always looking for what’s next, Huron doesn’t have a culture that’s worried about utilization and everyone, for the most part, shows a lot of humility and teamfirst attitudes. Been a great experience.

What’s your focus within healthcare? Strategy, market access, mergers and acquisitions? Knowing where you want focus and grow makes it easier to pick a firm.

Huron is a good place to be. Focus on healthcare with lots of opportunities to work in multiple areas

This is kind of apples to oranges. ECG and ZS for example don’t have any overlapping capabilities or expertise other than broadly “healthcare” consulting. ZS is primarily Pharma where as ECG is primarily healthcare services

Did two stints at B4 (Deloitte and KPMG) not saying it wasn’t good experience but would mint have mind just starting at Huron to begin with and growing my career with a much better team culture.

+1 for Huron. But really, all those listed companies are solid.

+1 for ZS!

Anyone at Huron willing to give a referral?

I can’t say enough about ZS’s culture, especially here in the SF Bay Area office. Been here for 4 years now and could definitely see myself staying much longer! I think it all starts with getting to know your coworkers because most people aren’t traveling all the time like at a big 4 or MBB.

We also do more than just pharma! (Medical devices, products, & services, high tech, a few other industries)

Been at big 4 and now at West Monroe Partners. THe latter is far less toxic and far more collaborative from my experience.

Big 4 that work in all industries vs. those more boutique firms that just focus on healthcare **

MBB! McKinsey is big enough you can specialize as narrowly or broadly as you want

@d1 how is healthcare at kpmg? Did Deloitte and kpmg not have the best cultures?

@H1, H2, H3. Are you hiring?

@PwC1 are you solely on healthcare projects at PwC?

@OP No, unfortunately not. That’s why I’d like to leave.

@PwC1 can I ask you some more questions? Can you drop a burner?

Yes in targeted areas

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
