Strict expense policies, so so parental leave, etc. I'm not critizing, just genuinely curious if there are other cool perks that aren't talked about. It's not alot but at D I certainly appreciate the liberal expense policy, health club allowance when traveling, well being subsidy, DU, etc.

I responded below too, but I had the choice between D S&O and ACN Strat and chose ACN because the salary was markedly higher and the work opportunities available seemed slightly more interesting. I did consider the better expense policy at D, along with a brand name that’s probably perceived slightly better outside of consulting (but not within consulting IMO), and ultimately decided that those weren’t worth the benefits that ACN offered. Also worth noting that the promotion timeline is quite a bit quicker than other Big4 outside of S& and possibly Parthenon (which both appear about equal).

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
