Junior interning at a small consulting firm.

Should I try to go to B4 or MBB for a full time after graduation or get work experience at small firm then try to transition after that?

Fresh out of graduation typically it’s advantageous to get a big name on your resume. I would recommend getting the full time offer from your boutique and then recruiting for MBB and T2 / B4 firms, see what you get. At the end of the day your career is your own journey, so it depends on your goals and aspirations, only you can answer the question of what is best to do for yourself

I’ve met some cool people at Accenture would love to connect. How can I contact you?

I can’t, I don’t have that access on this app as a student.

Big4/Acc is definitely the way to go- they will have a LOT of support for starting your career that small firms can’t offer. Obviously if you can get into t2 or 3 you’ll want to do that

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Currently making 125k salary with 10k bonus at essentially an assistant controller role. Client wants to hire me and is asking for my compensation range.

They floated around 150k last time we spoke but is there potential to ask for more?
