I would go ATK or OW, probably base my decision on how I felt about the people at both. ATK will do a lot of retail, procurement, ops, OW more financial. S&O turns me off a little based on recent re-org, not sure if it still offers the same bredth, but honestly unclear.

Used to work at ATK and definitely agree that people there are really friendly and you’ll typically have great project teams/interesting projects

Go to OW. Happy to talk through details over DM. OW offers better development, coaching, mentoring, and project choice. You will make more money and better exit opportunities for the rest of your career. The promotions at OW are faster as well.

By S&O, do you mean Deloitte S&O? If yes, I would say pick OW over that - and this is coming from a Deloitte S&O alumni. Had a good time at Uncle D, but comp is horribly below market (starting base was 72.5K at the time and no performance bonuses at all until you finish your third year at the firm), and with the re-org, true strategy work was scattered across portfolios and horrible tough to find (eg., if you land in Enterprise Ops or Core Biz Ops, you basically will be doing PMO or SAP / Oracle implementation, no strategy).

like

Glad to help! I’m glad I was able to land at Google in Strategy & Ops, but I know how rare it is from Deloitte and how hard you have to really hustle to find the development opportunities that prepare you for this type of role (eg., Corporate Strategy in a top company), which it sounds like isn’t as tough at OW. And again, comp difference is huge :) for the hours we all work / worked in consulting, you should really maximize your pay!

Hi fishes,

The rumors about PwC KSDC changing the bonus/hike payout cycle from July to an earlier month between March and June are picking pace. If there is any senior staff, or member with credible information on this, please share your 2 cents. The suspense is killing me, and I am sure many of you echo my sentiments here.

So far, I have heard:
- March
- May
- June
- July but with salary effective from April (paid as arrears in July). Something similar for June as well.
