The industry needs greater diversity, including diversity of education. Way too many children (many minorities) of privilege in this industry

It shouldn't. But if you understand American history and the treatment of minorities throughout that history, I get it.

@GS1 I'm just speaking in general. The U.S. has an ugly history when it comes to race. Improving race relations don't remove the systemic issues that were created by that ugly history. Hence, why I get why these policies exist. Most policies (including affirmative action) are broad brush strokes, which ultimately leads to unintended consequences.

NO fucking way

Well said GS3

I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
