In terms of prestige, how do you guy see Consulting (MBB, Tier 2, Big 4) versus non-IB/PE finance roles?
For example, working at Strategy& vs. a Global Markets role at BNP Paribas

Why does this even matter

like

"Prestige" only really matters to people looking for their first, maybe second jobs in a given field. Once you're past that it matters less and less.

There are partners at KPMG earning 10x what some partners at McKinsey are making.

Hell, there are some B4 Audit partners making millions in recurring fees from the same clients every single year, doing the exact same work.

1st year B4 partners aren't going to be making that far off 500k either, and you can make >$5M without being anywhere close to retirement, if you're a good salesman

Don't care about prestige in the slightest, so they're all the same to me 🤷

You need to relax with the prestige posts. No one cares in the long run.

Don't think I've ever once thought about going for those roles. So doesn't matter?

Prestige is built based on a number of factors, comp, comp growth, career progression being major parts of that… so if those finance roles pay a lot, have fast progression, and have big comp growth, they sound pretty prestigious to me

Okay you lost me there 😂

Global markets is capital markets so still technically front office finance (just to be that guy)

Hey now, stay in your lane IB1!

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
