I have recently joined EY SaT group as senior consultant recently in Netherlands. I’m tripple masters in MS economics, MBA and MS business analytics. Have 4 YOE in different industries but no M&A experience specifically. Any ideas what company should be offering me? I’ll be working as expert on commercial due diligence, FDD and valuation teams and doing automation alongside. is it wise to demand higher salary or promotion soon after I have proven that I can work and do it better than most?EY
I have offers from Broadcom and SSIR . Salary of Broadcom is higher than SSIR but mostly dependant on Rsu. Any idea about wlb and quality of work in both companies? YOE: 3.5 with M.tech from tier 1 college. Working in hardware domain. @Broadcom @Samsung @Nvidia @Qualcomm @AMD @Intel Corporation

Use a coin. Make heads one and tails the other.
When it lands, see how you feel. If it feels good, take it. If it doesn't, do the opposite.
This is classic analysis paralysis. You can't go wrong so just go with your gut
I’d go with A&M. I left EYP for AlixParners, which is more similar to A&M, and that was my best career decision so far.
Comp is much, much better and TC growth is something EY just can’t match; company operates as a meritocracy so you have fewer moments of “how the heck did he/she get promoted” - also means fewer incompetent managers/senior managers; people are highly experienced and smart; very entrepreneurial and you get to define your growth trajectory.
Feel free to DM me if I can be more helpful.
A&M has offered 35k sign in bonus and 55k guaranteed year end bonus for first two performance year (prorated)
EYP. I’m not biased I just want some bench time!

55K diff in base? Go EYP.
Hi MD1 are you working at A&M ? What’s the source of your information ?
Thanks !
EYP
Pros
- stronger brand
- higher base (205k)
- better work life balance
Cons
- small cog in a big machine
- will do similar work as I’m doing today so feel less challenged
A&M
Pros
- more entrepreneurial
- possibility of making 50k more in a good year
- PE focused work
Cons
- more hours
- not sure of exit ops if I want to get out of consulting
- lower base (150k) and TC highly dependent on bonus
- lack of DD experience
OP - you have no obligation to share your current salary with recruiters or people at other companies, and it is actually illegal for recruiters to ask in many states. So you can negotiate based on market rates and whatever you think your experience is worth in any scenario (assuming offer received)

Where did you decide, oh grand vacillator
Congrats on the offers! What’s your pro/con list looking like?
I don’t have a strong opinion but congrats! Those are two great offers.

You posted here before and I said EYP because base is king. Got a ton of likes. I will stand by what I said
Yup base is king ! But what about more stimulating work and big bonuses !!! Not trying to base my decision just on money.
Jesus ! Always appreciate advice from D.
I’m still contemplating. It’s a BIG decision with two great opportunities.
Congrats!
Write down why you would pick an opportunity and why you should not pick one. When you are done, see which one makes the most sense. Trust me, you’ll know where to go.
In 2-3 months when things get tough, just go back to that list and it will help you feel better
Join us! Are you coming in at manager/director?
Yes
Congrats! Curious...does your A&M PEPI offer specific which subgroup/practice? E.g. CFO Services, etc.

Interested why you think hours will be worse at A&M? If that’s true, seems like that would be a big factor as EYP hours are prolly pretty rough already being DD heavy.
I think it’s more of a perception ! Based on my research A&M I’d DD heavy and EYP TSE does a lot of carveout and integration work with stead 40-45 hrs a week
Although the good thing is if you work more you make more ! So it’s at least not free work
I could be wrong ! Someone who works there can provide a better insight.
What makes you think that EYP hours are brutal ?
Would love to hear what you decided. Are you PwC DDV?

So you when you said “have to pick today” you meant this day in 2022?
