Im currently deciding between 2 very similar entry level offers and am curious what people think would be the best for career progression. Captech - Data Analytics Consultant or EAB - Associate Data Engineer. I’m curious which company has a better reputation, exit ops, and upward mobility.

I've worked at EAB for 13 years and love it. Work is rewarding and challenging; people are great; lots of upward mobility for strong performers. And we have a huge impact on education and our communities.

Can’t speak to EAB but have worked at CapTech for the last 3.5 years and love every moment of it. As with most consulting, there’s times where it’s stressful and other times where it’s slow. Data and Analytics in particular within the firm is rapidly growing and lots of work within the pipeline. People here are smart and those that aren’t don’t stick around too long.

Biggest criticism of CapTech is that sometimes they’ll purse staff aug work to get a foot in the door at a new client. Those project usually end up a little dull. When I’ve found myself in that position I’ve turned to focusing on internal work (BD, white papers, SOWs etc)

Is EAB the education organization based out of DC?

Yeah that’s right I’m graduating this may.

What’s more interesting ? solving the problems or managing the data to solve the problem ?
