Received offers for cybersecurity consulting as a new grad from KPMG and EY. EY’s total comp was slightly higher than KPMGs. I was wondering which company will provide a strong technical background for me to jumpstart my career, thanks!

Look at the 2021 Q4 Forrester Report of Cybersecurity consulting providers. If you can't find it I'll spare you and tell you EY is the leader and KPMG doesn't even show up in the top tier. In a small handful of accounting specific practices the two are on a level playing field but when it comes to consulting its not even close. EY also does a MUCH better job of integrating service lines on individual engagements so you'll be exposed to other types of consulting if you feel that cyber may not be your permanent home.

KPMG has a strong cyber response and cloud security practice. Our grc, IAM and other engineering groups of cyber are not that good.
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter which firm you go with as your team, tech stack and project portfolio are the only things that would make an impact on your career long term

Really depends on the location and what you want to do in cybersecurity. I started my career at EY as pentester and did get to attend plenty of technical courses (Offsec, SANS, etc).

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

Hi all.
Pretty disappointed now as my request for a counter offer revision in IBM has been rejected by the business team. I have an offer of 14.41 in a Big4(Fixed: 11,variable 3:41) & IBM is offering me Fixed 12.5(including retirals-13.31).

Sad part is they are considering only fixed part for revision & r saying that we r offering you more than ur fixed. They r saying u will get variable on top of this. In reality, IBM hardly gives any variable.
Guys, is there still a way to revise the offer?
