I've been in the game for 6 months and on the app for a few days. Can someone please explain what a Tier means? In both contexts like city and rank. Much appreciated!

How prestigious the firm is.

MBB is t1

ATK, LEK, Oliver Wyman and a few others are T2

Big 4 is T3 (depending on the team tho, S&O EYP S& are t2 to t2.5 depending on who u ask)

T4 is random shops which don't have a good rep, cap gem, IBM ect

I understand now. Thank you!

Re cities, the tiers are based on cost of living. So you’ll see Tier1/HCOL (high cost of living), Tier2/MCOL (moderate), Tier3/LCOL (low) usually based on how far from the national avg COL is. Some also add VHCOL to include very high cities like San Francisco. Examples are:

Tier 1/HCOL: NYC, Seattle, Miami
Tier 2/MCOL: Orlando, Cincinnati, Jacksonville
Tier 3/LCOL: small commuter towns/cities that usually are more suburban

love to see everyone mentioning jax 🥲

Incentive ideas needed!
I’m in charge of our school incentive program for this upcoming year to keep the kids into virtual learning. We are distance learning until at least October.

The quality of some of the new hires this time makes me wonder if Deloitte can keep up the Big4 tag 5 years down the line. Poor communication skills, grammatical mistakes in mails and spelling mistakes ffs! This has happened so many times now that my lead has asked me to recheck the drafts before these guys hit send. And I'm not just talking about fresh campus recruits, I see it in case of the lateral hires as well. Sad situation.
