I am from a non technical background but have an MBA from tier 2 bschool. Is it wise enough to switch to data science/analytics? I am equally passionate about ESG please advise

PS- not very good in maths but have analytical & interpretation abilities.

First it's tough to break into Data Science or Analytics if you don't have any relevant experience. If they do consider you it'll be for a beginner position which might not do justice to your expectations for a post MBA role or salary.

ESG on the other hand is an entirely different field having quite a few projects in US and Europe. But it'll be a niche field. If you're okay with that you should brush up a bit on the different types of Sustainability Reporting tools and keep up-to-date with the latest happenings. KPMG is hiring in numbers for their ESG team I think.

I don't know if certificates in any of those helps, unless you've worked live on a project with either Tableau or PowerBI. Python though go for it.

Hi fishes. Is it a fact that PWC payscale is relatively low compared to other Big4s?

I have been approached by PwC HRs twice in last 2 months, both times they did not even shortlist me stating that my expected CTC is high.

My profile:
YoE =6.5yrs + 2yrs tier2-MBA
CCTC=16.5
Expected CTC= 1.4x

2nd time they approached, I even brought down my exp CTC to 1.3x. Still they said PwC does not have budget.

I already have offer of 1.45x from another Big4. Its only PwC that is not budging. :(

Hey guys.

Evaluating an offer from EY. I would be joining at Senior 1 level in their Workforce Advisory practice (specifically, learning team). I have 3.5 YOE in Deloitte in the same practice (offshore USI team in India).
