I’m a senior at KPMG interested in switching to another Big 4 firm and group. However, KPMG is currently paying for my masters which requires me to work an additional 3+ years at the firm in order for

them to pay off the total tuition amount (around 30k). Does anyone know or have any experience with another firm picking up their tuition costs?

If you leave before 3 years I think you have to pay KPMG back. You might want to confirm with HR

Op the important thing here is to know how much you have to payback if you leave and then have the new employer reimburse you for that amount. From your post, it seems like you just started Masters or have done a year and most employer will be willing to reimburse you this amount but will lock you in for few years similar to KPMG.

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
