This is a tough one but I’d prob go with Manager @ Big 4 and leverage accordingly for the next role after that. Congrats! 🙌

I’m in the exact same spot lol. Lateral as BA or promo to manager in B4. Is there a cutoff point where it makes sense to stay in B4? E.g. you’d have to stay at McK at least 3 years.

It depends. If you want to stay in consulting, MBB. As a step towards tech/industry, go for the promo.

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer
