Anyone has any pointers? (Interview process, the job, compensation, etc..)

Interview process is a breeze. Be comfortable with yourself, tell great stories, love our core values and your interviewer will love you right back.
The job for an AC will typically be partnered with a senior member of the practice. You’ll look at old PowerPoints from older clients and swap out the names for the current client. Remember to change the logos. Don’t tell the client this. You’ll mostly be doing note taking when your team meets the client, and googling and cleaning up PowerPoints when you’re not.
Compensation is awful.

Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?
