I recently got a verbal offer from KPMG strategy. Is that more prestigious than like, most other firms? Like, I know MBB is done with recruiting; I feel like below MBB for name recognition is the Big 4 and other firms aren’t as reputable. I’m trying to decide whether or not I should interview and apply to other firms or just take this one (assuming a written offer ever comes along). Also, I prioritize work culture and exit opportunities over salary, but don’t want to be paid below poverty line.

Prioritize the place you can get in and like the people. It’s your first job. They’re paying you to learn. Pick a place you are most comfortable, can learn and be successful. Exit opportunities and reputation, etc are irrelevant at this point. Young people put way too much emphasis on this.

Great advice here

We have great culture and WLB (depending on your practice). Your first few years, pay won’t be great but you will gain quickly around year 3. From an exit perspective, you’ll be a Cal grad with a big4 name on your resume, I’m sure you’ll be like, fine. But no snobbery please, it’s one of my favorite things about our culture 😅

Which groups have better WLB would you say?

KPMG Strategy has good and bad parts, but culture is a definite good. Especially in the Transaction Execution half of strategy

like

Would you really decline without another offer in hand? That seems like it could be a bit risky.

KPMG is the least prestigious of the big 4, but is still a pretty good firm

By any metric, higher than KPMG.

Good opportunity? Possibly! More prestigious than most other firms? Probably not

like

Most other firms in the world, KPMG is more prestigious. Most other consulting firms of comparable size, than KPMG comes after MBB, probably Tier2 (LEK,OW,Kerney etc), and probably the other big4

I’d say take it given your goals. Also depends on what the actual numbers are. I like it here

Hi All,
I am feeling lost in job. So I’ve applied for Accounts payable they offered 40k. I said why not to gain some experience. I didn’t even bother negotiating which I regret.
Fast forward I noticed that I was eventually handed everyone’s workload (AR & imports & duty and check coworker work + AP) Spoke to them about pay increase based on workload. So they raised it to 55k.. but I still feel underpaid based on the amt of work I do. I don’t know what my title or what to put on resume..
