Juggling two offers (EY vs. IBM) for a senior consultant position in Incident Response.

Pay is basically equal and both teams seem great. Could anyone give me some insight into either of the two to make a better decision?

^ this guy knows and that’s only the tip of the iceberg my friend

Depends on which skills are more important to you. If you want to grow more into consulting I’d say EY. If your focus are your technical skills I’d say IBM.

Some ex-IBM colleagues said IBM doesn’t let you keep your points from travel; not sure if that’s still the case, though. Haven’t heard anything positive about it in any case.

Even with the gaslighting about layoffs and unlimited PTO, I’d still recommend EY over IBM.

One thing to factor in is that you get a raise every year at EY. Could be the same at IBM .. not sure

like

At EY it’s typically 5-10% non promo years and 15-25% promo years. This is before Covid and at the lower levels. I’m sure as you progress the % decrease.

Hi folks, I have an offer from one of the well known startups for performance marketing role with almost 50% hike should I consider it or not. My details include 3.5 years of experience in paid media role, currently working as a Sr Executive for Paid Search also my current package is 6.6 Lpa. One of the major reasons for switch is because the current work is corely focused on execution based tasks and very less on strategy and optimisations. #paidmedia#ppc @groupm @dentsu @publicis @accenture
