Looking for advice on what to weigh/consider between US-based T2 Engagement Manager-level offers at OW, OC&C, S&/PWC, and EY-P.

I'm basically going off of how I liked the partners in the groups I interviewed with and the overall process; since I feel like that will make the biggest difference in my day-to-day.

Comp is neutral enough between offers not to matter, none of the groups are the main focus of the firm but all are growing. Everyone has done RIFs in past. What else to consider?

Great offers in this market. OW followed by S&

Pick the one where you got along with people better between the two

OC&C small and not a well recognised brand, EYP on a downward trend. Actual strong T2 are OW, S&

OC&C is pretty strong in the UK market not very well known outside. If your plan is to be in Europe then it’s a good company to work for albeit they only focus on 4 sectors. Heard only good things about them with excellent pay and culture

OW is primarily known for FS but still strong and reputed. If you are looking globally strong S& is my pick

Post MBA?

Yes indeed, engagement manager-level with past experience leading consulting teams

Team fit and type of work fit I think.

What sort of work are you focused on?

That's kind of the crazy thing - all these groups are pretty small; so each has really broad mandates as far as industries go. In a couple of cases it's more post-deal value creation, which I enjoy, but again, spans industries; and those types of projects certainly exist at the other firms as well (just mixed in with some diligences too vs. being siloed). All-in-all there are some slight benefits based on type of work; but I've found team fit to be very different and I think I might optimize on that based on having to spend 10-16 hours per day at work! Might as well get on well with the people you work with, after all

EY-P had a few RIFs in the past few years though I know they're hiring again. They have comparable comp to S& and were known for a chiller culture, though the guy who told me that got laid off since...

S& was not impacted by PwC's layoffs. Most the folks I know of were on the PwC side and either Product oriented or honestly just terrible.

I dont know much about OC&C so wont speak to it.

OW is probably similar to S& but I don't know enough to comment. The two people I know who swapped to OW (from S& and PwC) went into the PE group and Aerospace. They both left at around 2 years.

What is the difference between Principal Design Strategist & Design Strategist?

My current title is the latter and I’m interviewing for a Principal role.

The only nuance I got from the recruiter is that there is no actual designing in this role.

Is this a case of title inflation?
