I'm an undergrad senior about to graduate with two offers:

-
KPMG Advisory Financial Services Data Associate

-Mastercard Data & Services Associate Consultant

Pay are both about the same. I know consulting has more career progression than industry, but the Mastercard job is also external client work that is similar to regular consulting.

What are y'all thoughts?

KPMG Mastercard

I’d go with Mastercard.

I don’t think consulting is that great at the associate level. If you’re a senior or above it becomes good. I would go elsewhere and then hop in at a better level

Mastercard por favor

MC and then jump to consulting afterwards

I'd go with maser card. The client facing and fin tech niche is more appealing than KPMG imo

Mastercard! Harder to break into that later. Consulting is much easier especially as an experienced hire later if you want to switch.

like

MC and then jump to consulting. Home grown consultants don't make near as much as industry experienced hires.

Give MC 2-3 years max and bounce. You'll greatly boost your long term earning potential in addition to building some actual chops in industry first to give your consulting profile more credibility

To be clear, I love working here. But when I hear my salary vs similar experienced persons here who were only here, it's a big difference

I would say go to KPMG. From my experience it will be easier to go from consulting to industry then industry to consulting. Also your consulting experience will be valued higher then industry experience given that you will work on several clients likely. No the only downside is the hours at KPMG will be worse but if your willing to put the time in it will benefit you in the long run.

Advice needed! I started at an ID firm only a few months ago after a long stint doing in-house litigation. I was referred to the firm by a very good friend who also still works there. A management position at my old in-house firm has now been offered to me. Higher salary obviously and no billables.

I’m currently an AE and was offered a promotion to sales manager. I’ve been waiting for this next step but the offer only provides a 5% raise over what I currently make. We had several manger seats open and I know external people we hired received an offer atleast 20-30% more than I did.
I’m currently trying to negotiate but there doesn’t seem like there’s willingness to do so from our hiring team. Should I decline? Should I leave? Should I accept and start looking elsewhere?

Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is. I usually say something along the lines of “a large client in X industry/vertical” because dropping the client name feels tacky? But at the same time, my main client is niche and knowing who is kind of vital to understand the work.
