Totally depends on the office and the vertical I think. Chicago is well known for having the best office culture with most ppl in on Fridays, happy hours, a fair amount of office events, etc. Verticals are the same story, I think some are really tight knit and do a lot of both formal and informal events (within the office, not across the country), others maybe not so much. Is there a particular office or area you are looking at?

Doesn’t the up or out culture make it an unpleasant environment to evolve in? Based on my interactions with S& teams on many of my deals, not sure S& is where I’d like to be. Would love to be proven otherwise though.

I have never once felt like it was a competition based on the up or out. I think we are all overachievers and are our own worst critics/enemies in most cases, so up or out really has no impact on my teams or interactions with others. I personally have found an amazing network of people across all levels who are willing to help or give input based on their experience, but maybe it varies by team.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
