Reality is KPMG is the runt of the bunch

My current client said they go to D when they need a few senior SMEs and to KPMG when they need manual power / lots of junior hands

I've never heard of them doing any strategy work here.

Gotcha, that’s helpful. How do the other 3 shops compare? Coming from the US and understand the reputation varies significantly across the pond. Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard from friends too. S& seems to do some very high quality work in the UK and is pretty well regarded. Will be interesting to hear if that’s the general sentiment...

But A is top of the pyramid

Undoubtedly 😂

Depends what you do. I’d say my team are full of technical experts - all senior, very few junior hands. Clients come to us for industry insights and expertise, and plotting that into strategy and implementation.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.

Do you think getting Aderall could help even though I’m doing fine? Maybe I’ll go from good associate to great
