No need for anything after MBB. They’re superior to B4 in every category except misery

PwC no brainer. Great hues of orange and pink in the color scheme, no need to worry about hurting your brain cells with hard problems and an opportunity to feel good about being the smartest person of the lot by working with mediocre colleagues

Phew who hurt you my guy

Deals like FDD or what? Either way MBB

M&A?

MBB, no contest.

Name brand recognition, exit opportunities, etc. are all better.

The WLB piece is overblown. It’s going to be similar for both.

MBB is a better start to your career than tech consulting for the vast majority of cases, the hard part is getting the MBB offer

I'd also suggest the T2 strategy firms (ATK, EY-P, LEK, OW, S&) over taking the return offer if you are able

Wanted to get your advice/thoughts.

I'm a non-traditional CD analyst working in a niche industry (gambling)

My experience is as follows: BIG4 Audit > FP&A (CPG) > CD analyst (1 year)

I like my role (sourcing, modelling and strategy integration), however I don't see myself working in this industry long term. Without a generalist IB background, are my chances of transitioning over to a different Industry low? If so, is there anything I can learn or do (excluding IB)?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I have been working with Kantar (a market research company) for 10 months now. The company has given me permanent work from home. Work is quite good and I am able to learn many things here. Also, my manager is very supportive and patient.
The only thing is about compensation, I have a package of 14 lpa with 6 YOE.
I'm thinking of switching to some company based in Pune.
What should I do?
