I've been at Deloitte S&O for almost two years. Just got an offer from BCG, but the salary is $5k less. Do I take the offer?

Based on just the responses from your fellow Deloitters, I would take the initial paycut to get into a better culture.

Outside of that, salary isn't the entire compensation package. AFAIK BCG has a great health plan and the exit opportunities will be better.

Those aren't all the factors you should consider but maybe people that are more useful than the previous posters can add some additional points

You should take it probably.
1) can negotiate 5k signon
2) better salary progression
3) bigger bonus potential
4) better benefits (eg free healthcare) that might actually make your net higher than before

Yeah because you can make $5K just standing on a street corner yelling "EXCUSE ME HI YEAH I WORK AT BCG. YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT BUT IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL."

like

Because anyone with a functional mammalian brain knows that $5k is nothing in the grand scheme of things. MBB > Big 4 in every single aspect, except average working hours.

If not, you have poor decision making skills and should stay away from MBB or consulting.

Hi Guys, Currently in the process to apply for Us/Uk tax consultant role with Deloitte UK, this is experienced hire role not a fresher. Can someone give me an idea as to what is the average pay scale for this role? The estimates on Glassdoor seem quite low for London, considering the cost of living and such.

I am currently in oracle with very good work life balance, and the manager is pretty chill and does not ask updates like everyday , not a lot of meetings as well and quite recently got an offer from JP morgan. JPMC team is credit risk and role is not fixed yet, that will be decided after onboarding .Want to know how is the WLB there compared to oracle. Can I settle down in jp morgan. I am tired of giving interviews and looking for new jobs 😞
