Yes. Very corporate (even in product mgmt) and isnt immune to layoffs. However generally good pay and from what i hear better hours. Note ive heard role inflation is rampant there- as a brand new Senior Manager i was told to target VP roles.

It’s great if your looking for a tenure-based role that you can work 9-5 and occasionally from home. I found the pace to be fairly relaxed and the comp to be below competitive for the NYC area. If you rise up to band 45 or 50 (where VPs sit) you can make decent money and anything above that is doing pretty well. However, the reason for you looking at those titles is due to the comp band - base is usually below professional services and bonus is much greater. Overall is usually a step behind (e.g. director similar to manager, etc.)

I have been on a project at Amex in NY. I would join them in an instant. Work life balance out of this world. Clients come in 9:45 leave religiously between 5-5:30. Friday is work from home. Consultants swarm the place to do the actual work. I have no idea till today what the clients really do. My team even wrote internal emails for them. And they get paid as well as we do.

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
