One gives you equity, the other doesn’t. Associate partners are the expert track, and usually have to worry about utilization vs impact.

like

Go with Amazon. As an “expert” consultant, your #1 metric will be your utilization which means you gotta whore yourself out on day 1 and it’s not easy / fulfilling until you establish yourself. And to establish yourself, you gotta demonstrate an expert level of knowledge BCGers will appreciate, which you may or may not have. Also remember that many might look down upon you coming from a Big 4 so building your reputation to create “pull” demand might not be easy.

Unless you join a small group of Partners who commit to looking after you immediately (bring you to their clients, staff you on their cases) it is an incredibly hard setup to succeed in.

I would go with Amazon

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients. The role sounds great (no billable hours, fully remote, flexible hours/ can work from anywhere); however, the salary is $70K. I’m a new attorney, with only one year of experience. Does this salary seem low? If so, any advice on what someone in my position should ask for?
