How early is too early to ask for a raise?
I transferred firms to EY almost a year ago. I’m currently a SA1. I recently got my H1-B extension. Is it reasonable to assume that EY will start my GC application once I’ve been with the firm for a year? Or do I need to be at a higher rank or have less time left on my H1-B for them to get the process started?

For those of you who build websites, how do you display your built sites on your portfolio site? Do you have a page where you mock up the site or do you do a direct link? I currently have both. I’m just trying to figure out the best way for me. Here is my site for reference. The links for the sites are in the menu and below in the gallery. Sarahbellestudios.com

Altman Solon without a doubt. Accenture does not do CDD work and no one hires them for that. Their strengths lie in IT which is a huge and very important part of the transaction. If it’s CDDs then you go to Altman
It will be London based, so I guess there's a strong CDD business?

To me, it comes down to how much variety in work you want. If you're willing to focus on CDD for TMT, pick Altman. If you want to try out any other industries or aspects of M&A, pick Accenture.
Brand recognition and general exit reach is in favor of Accenture, but Altman may do better with high finance in the TMT space, or TMT more broadly, but especially telecom.

Yes, I'd go with Altman in that case.
I work at Altman but had offers from ACN Strategy. Contrary to above they do CDDs, primarily for retail (legacy Kurt Salmon practice).
Obv Altman is more sector focused but it's also a boutique vs a behemoth and more strategy focused vs ACN where strategy is a small fraction of revenues.
In my view that makes Altman better positioned to provide you with growth opportunities and professional development and a better work experience where you are the core of the business rather than just the "tip of the spear" but you should ask yourself if you would be better suited to working for a big vs small company.
Surprised comp is a wash, I'd think ours is better at most levels, though more bonus-heavy. We place pretty well in LMM PE (obv tmt focused funds), better than most T2s let alone ACN which high finance types have a superiority bias against.
Happy to answer any questions to help you make the decision.
hands down Altman over Acn Strategy
That's a great perspective! I've never really thought of the brand recognition from that angle. I guess that if on a 5 year timeline I want to move into LMM PE, AS's brand and alumni power would probably work more to my advantage.
