Need help/advice on which offer to take.

Deloitte - Tax Consultant II, 77k base plus 5k sign-on, accrual PTO

Berkowitz - Experienced Associate, 85k base, 2k sign-on, up 20% bonus based on billable hrs paid every qtr, unlimited PTO

Both are in Private Equity/Real Estate tax which is the field I want to pursue. I have 1.5 YOE in public accounting. Not sure which to choose. Since I'm early in my career, Deloitte would be a resume booster but I lose on comp. Berkowitz has strong comp but not Big4 @

This is a hard choice. I’d go for the second offer, primarily because for me more money means a quicker way of clearing my dept. But deloitte is BIG4. I think you should post this in consulting bowls too, you might get better feedback from there.

I would go for Deloitte. More status with the title on your resume. They also offer better wlb.

Not sure why Deloitte its offering less than Berkowitz a little strange. Can you use the Berkowitz offer to get more at Deloitte?

Def Deloitte is the better choice, its a BIG4, has more resources, more sophisticated clients, better mentors. Berkowitz is a small regional firm with high net worth clients, you’ll prob wont be able to see half of the things you will see at Deloitte.

5k less is not worth it to miss the Deloitte opportunity.
