Soo conflicted 🤯🤯🤯

Have to pick between A&M PEPI and EYP today. Both firms are great and I’m not able to decide where to go.

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.

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

like

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

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?

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
