I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti

Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Pace. Competition. Intensity. Camaraderie.
In general MBB is something people are working on, like a challenge for themselves, and most don’t see it as an indefinite job so much as a tour of duty.
Big 4 on the other hand is so big, feels like a job, moves much slower, and tolerates mediocrity in a way MBB does not. But it’s way more sustainable.
Just my perspective as an MBB alumni currently working in the big 4.
I worked MBB and Big 4. Big 4 doesn’t feel like that much culture because you’re only in the office Fridays and it’s so big you can’t know everyone. MBB you see the same faces every Friday, easier to approach people and introduce yourself, everyone is smart. MBB also not so concerned about “prestige” or other superficial stuff. Big 4 you get a lot of people who ask stupid questions you can google.
I would say Big 4 is a lot more Desi, especially on the tech implementation side. Hit me up for some samosas.

For people that went from Big 4 to MBB, what was your biggest struggle? I get the pace and quality might be challenging at first, but was it also like competition or maybe inferiority complex?
Everyone in MBB has an inferiority complex. Everyone.
