Has anyone here worked on SAP BTP yet?
I had interviewed for an internship position at EY for technology consultant program for summer 2022 and got a call where they extended an offer. I wanted to know if I can defer the internship offer to fall 2022 or a later start date after summer.
I apologize as I cannot reply to a comment or DM on this platform to anyone, but thanks for your answers in advance.

Even on a bad year most shops hit you w 20-30%
At our shop the junior guys don’t have much variance between a bad year and a standout year.
They do almost the same amount work in either scenario and it isn’t their fault deals are/aren’t won or closed.
They get paid 70ish% in a bad year (depending on rank) and 90ish% in a great year. So TC is 120+80 or 120+100, not a huge variance.
We had a slower year and my comp will be down 50% from 2022. But I’ll have three deals close in Q1 which will be ~120% of my annual target and have a strong pipeline of others, so my 2024 pay could be 3x 2023.

Kpmg CF in the US is a joke that’s why. In other countries, they actually close deals and get paid. It’s still not to the same level of BB/EBs but then the hours aren’t nearly as bad and job security is much better.
At senior levels the gap is bridged quite a bit, still a gap but the reasons above bridge it especially in a market like today.
I got laid off from KPMG, as a high performer I thought I was safe. OP is right: stay away

So like I said, not corporate finance/M&A…
Let’s also discuss how the revenue targets were ridiculous, it sets people up to fail
