I have a shiny new MBA, veteran, 8yoe Oil & Gas industry and looking at KPMG?

Which practice should I shoot for (for top $) in Houston or SoCal?

The kind of work is secondary to pay, I got mouths to feed and the wife wants a new pool/ocean.

If your MBA is from a reputable school, aim for DAS.

SA1, this isn't a unique KPMG thing, this is how consulting firms grow organically. You can avoid it if you go to a more established strategy firm (because they're not growing as fast as we are).

I find it amusing. When the downturn came in '14 you couldn't get a callback if you had O&G on your CV. In '22 if you have +5 yrs in O&G firms think it's a godsend.

Yep, I got laid off in spring of ‘15 and struggled to find anything that paid even remotely close. I finally almost made it back two years later.

Houston, SoCal will not be too different and CA taxes will eat away any difference. The pool will also be cheaper in Houston.

I would strongly consider EVS (either Business valuation or tangible asset valuation) in Houston. They do a lot of oil and gas work and with your experience and masters, I’m sure you would be a valuable member of the team there.

Ironically, 2014 was when I started in O&G. I was working pt towards a MechE degree while working full time at a process technology engineering firm. It was a tough time. I'm super thankful for all the engineering experience sans the degree. I was doing the same work as a MechE 1 and 2 (minus TechBidEval) by the time I finished undergrad. I sold out and went for a const mgt undergrad due to me approaching the big 40 (somewhat interesting story behind this).

DM for a referral, have a hot streak of recent hires.

If you're optimizing for pay, any other Big4 will pay more, t2 even more, MBB the most.

So here's where I'm at....I have a job that's VERY stable but a manager that well, manages poorly. The manager is there for the foreseeable future, there is no room for promotion or a possible shift change for another 2-4 years. Opportunity is seemingly presenting itself elsewhere, but I'm worried about the stability of the new place. I've seen that they just had workers retire after 35-40 years and the reviews are at 82% recommended work place. My goal is to get to 1st shift. Thoughts?
