Bain & Company Weighing offers from EYP and Bain for experienced consultant level. Comp offer is similar for base + bonus + sign on. Is Bain really the no-brainer? Any reason I should go EYP? Bain & Company EY-Parthenon

Yeah go to Bain. We are great but you’ll be better off in the long run post consulting being at Bain

Agree with eyp1, we are great - but you can always come to eyp from Bain. But eyp to Bain is not as common

Parthenon is a great firm (and usually has higher base at earlier tenures), but I’d pick Bain for the long term comp and exits. Especially if you’ll be doing a lot of DDs at either firm, it may be better to go to a place that has a broader general practice (not that Parthenon’s is limited by any means; it’s just going to be smaller than Bain’s).

What’s giving you pause?

Bain hands down! Both great options to have, but Bain just so much better long-term

Bain any time.

Only WLB might be slightly better at EYP but Bain leads in all other aspects so would be a no-brainer for me

There can be limited cases where you're better off staying at a T2 vs joining MBB, but I'd struggle to think of many cases where you're better off joining a T2 over MBB

Only case I could think of is if you're later-career and looking to stay somewhere, and there's a strong reason you think you'll be much more likely to thrive at the T2

Hi,

I’m approaching YE compensation discussions and was curious to see what folks/the industry are paying for institutional middle-market sales/distribution/business-development roles. I have 3yrs of experience with the same firm and am currently working as a sales analyst for the institutional sales team in NA. I have experience with traditional long only solutions, real estate (primarily value add funds), and a sector specific hedge fund. Any and all feedback is welcome!

What's the intent behind the right vs. left Twix product marketing? I don't get the purpose of spending millions on product differentiation when the two bars are the same. It feels like a candy company inside joke. Only case I can imagine is that focus groups didn't want other varieties of Twix bars, but bars like Reese's and Snickers constantly put out different varieties that generate new interest in the product. Idk that still feels over the top. Does it make sense to you?
