OW, ZS or big 4?

Zs : 135 base + 10% bonus
Ow: $100 base
Big 4: 140 base

Currently at big 4 - haven’t negotiated OW but unsure if they’re gonna match my other offers. If money was the same I would easily go OW?

Do you know role progression at OW?

I’m moderately biased but ZS > Big 4 should be a no brainer. Your life will be materially better, you’ll progress just as quickly or more, get paid more and not sacrifice exit ops at all honestly.

OW has much better prestige broadly, so if you’re not interested in life sciences and you know there’s a lot of growth then maybe consider it.

That’s generally fair unless you’re going to Chicago, Seattle or SF/San Mateo.

Plenty of work in CPG / retail, tech, industrials, agriculture, etc.

What is your goal and why do you want to switch?

Are the levels equivalent?

I’d go for Oliver Wyman. Even if they don’t match the salary in the first year, progression is quite quick at OW if you perform well.

My goal is more strategy focused work - ironically I want experience in non-fs, where I am is heavily fs focused and I want retail, agri, manufacturing etc before I pigeon myself

what type of work at the big 4?

Small sprinkle of strategy but ops

YOE? Honestly doubt we'd match other offers, as it would entail bringing you on at the ASC level. Our associates have a ton of responsibility and unless you have 4+ YOE don't think that's happening

It's possible given 6yrs of total exp. More likely if you are joining a practice that's really in need of people. Doesn't hurt to try and negotiate.

If OW matches, pick OW

I have a tricky timing for switching jobs.

Current company:
- Quarterly RSU vesting 1st March
- Bonus scheduled for April payment.
- Notice period is 1 month

Option 1. Leave on March 2nd after vesting and stay an extra month (2 months total). Start new role right after. No bonus

Option 2. Leave Feb 7th (1 months notice), start new job right after and ask new employer to cover the bonus and RSUs if they want me earlier

Option 3. Ignore the money and just leave after notice.

Thoughts?
