Anyone recently received a tax manager offer from EY ? I’m going through final interviews and want to see what your experience was like (negotiation process, initial offer higher/lower than expected?, did you give them a salary expectation range? How long did it take from final interview to offer etc) TIA!PwC EY KPMG Deloitte

PE and VC have always been better. Tech is the only newcomer.
Tech is not hiring as much this year so everybody tryna jump on the MBB bandwagon
MBB not doing layoffs while tech does is going to really boost our appeal the next few years
Why does tech want fresh MBA grads? Tech skills aren’t often there and they are too young for strategy. What positions do MBA grads go into MANGA for?
Top 10 b school students are likely to focus on MBB, Tier 2, and Big 4 in that order for consulting, which I doubt PwC HR would concede as the reason for lower demand, but may realistically be the answer. At my top 10 b school, 75% of this year’s class attended McKinsey’s info session so I don’t think demand is down.
Numbers going to consulting have been consistent year over year plus or minus a few percentage points. There is no significant drop. Can easily check school employment reports.
Consulting has done a great job of branding itself as glamorous, "important" work with good "perks" like traveling and happy hours.
In reality you are doing work that someone doesn't have time or bandwidth to do. Its a lot of boring, in the weeds details, jargon and CYA's.

So it makes sense to go to the ascendant industry like tech.
FT M7 class of 2020 - everyone who could get PE/VC took it; tech was a mixed bag.
When we talked about first jobs nobody talked about hours or really money (most jobs pay more or less the same, negligible difference) - those things came up after people already started working. We all wanted training, interesting work, and great exits. From my perspective, PwC doesn’t recruit well because we don’t put enough effort into it and non MBB consulting doesn’t naturally have the shine tech (platforms you use everyday) does.

Professional service margins are 1/2 that of SaaS. Math doesn’t check out.
Probably going off of publicly traded consulting companies… aka Accenture.

Why don’t you focus on what you want to do, rather than what’s popular or “prestigious “?

Ok. Looks like I misinterpreted. But there are daily posts on here by people asking which is the most prestigious career, and I thought that’s where you were going.
