I need help picking between two offers. Associate consultant at Point b or consultant at Aarete. They both pay the same. I know both companies are not well known but these are the choices i have for now. Point b will be tech transformation, proj management type of work and Aarete will be more data heavy/ analysis(sql, power bi), cost cutting, process improvement type of work. Which one should i go with? I’m losing my mind would really appreciate some help. Thank you

Don’t know either firm well but the focus of role at Point B will give better exit options / more desirable skills in market. Non sophisticated data analysis work (meaning no predictive models or ML) will not be desirable in 5-10 years. Being able to lead tech transformation will only become more valuable to orgs.

Aarete is an ESOP, so if you're planning to be there a few years, solid opportunity for wealth creation. They also have a cool model where they put fees at risk based on delivery outcomes, which I think is a difference maker for many clients.

PointB is more staff aug / solo contributors when I've run into them. Generally competent ppl but be sure to understand the model

More accurately, 40% of Point B is ESOP. The remaining 60% of ownership is Private Equity.

Point b might finally be at rock bottom??? they are an ESOP with no 401k. New CEO might help, but they have had a massive exodus (hundreds of qualified consultants left and took their clients and they are now begging them to bring those clients back) and if you end up on the bench that most likely means layoff. That particular group is questionable because they bought a near shore cheap dev shop, be careful.
