Wavestone VS EY

Hi all, I have an offer for Wavestone (cybersec management consultant) as well as EY (tech risk auditing). For Wavestone my issue is that if I am to quit and find another job 2-3 years later will this hinder my success rate cos it isnt a big name company. For EY, I'm not super into auditing (nvr done it) but willing to try and I havent heard the best abt it for fresh grads.

For context I alr hv 2 internship experiences at a big 4.

Ey tech risk isn’t cyber. What do you want to do?

In favor of a no name company? Yes probably. But do not stay in that role longer than 2 years.

Unless you have other options out of these 2, given all you have are internship experiences, absolutely take EY. Honestly, I would take it regardless of what it is - better to re-write your story 2 years from now, coming from EY than from the other option. Full disclosure, I don’t know who they are. Doesn’t mean they are bad tho.

EY is IT Auditing - and you are right to say I don’t want that. But I think 💯 go to EY. You can always move to cyber within EY - I don’t know your background, education, network etc - please get big 4 on the resume over waves tons. I mean big 4 is not perfect but for someone who doesn’t have experience, doesn’t have other better opportunities, don’t pass this opportunity. My advice applies if this was an offer from any big 4, not just EY.

Wavestone is quite good for cyber but the brand name is close to non-existent outside France and maybe 2 other European countries

We have a cybersecurity practice, but it’s completely separate from tech risk.

No. That would not come across well.

It would be better to apply directly to the role you want.

Never heard of Wavestone

I'm with EY, and would agree on the comments on that group.

I'd make sure you understand the work that would be involved in the two roles and choose the one where you think you're going to get more development out of it.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). 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.
