Moved from Deloitte to Accenture 6 months ago and can say 100% comp is better at Accenture. So is WLB. Culture is a toss up, but less workaholic culture at Accenture.

Well WLB is probably EY and KPMG

Benefits is likely Accenture and Deloitte

Culture is in the eye of the beholder

Outside perspective:

S&=EYP> Acc strat >>>>> Accenture>EY=PWC=Del > KPMG

Accenture pays more than big 4, IMO has a better brand. Deloitte has better comp at a given level than the rest of big4, but literally takes 20 years to make partner, so…

EY is best culture IMO. But there’s more variation within firms than between firms. Deloitte sucks tho

I've read about HELOC and cash out refinance to get a 2nd home but articles are so scattered that it gets confusing which is better in terms of tax benefits and immediate costs, etc. Anything others have found helpful that summarized how to get started would be great!

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.
