Work on the reasons why you were counseled out…ex consultants often bring a consulting style to industry roles, so if your new boss is MBB try to be well prepared

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
