Deloitte is seen as a competitor for anything digital. EY has good finance specialists. Rarely do I see them as competition. We work with CEOs of companies.

BCG2: say that to McKinsey.

OP: apparently they care enough to respond to your post.

We really don’t think of you at all. Like I’ve had less than 5 work conversations regarding the Big 4 in my four years of MBB

I respect BCG thought process and don’t want to alter it before acquisition 😀😀😀

This ☝️- only sane response on the thread

PS- Seriously OP doesn’t effing matter. Stop the comparisons in your head. I’m sure some teams in b4 might have better projects than some at MBB. And overall we are diff kind of orgs. It’s silly to compare imho.

That's right ! MBBs only sell pipe dreams - which makes some C suite feel important/ soothe egos. Real execution is beyond them - so why even think ?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

Hi all,

I'm currently working at Infosys as MSBI developer and looking for opportunity in any of Big 4. I noticed there is a job vacancy for the role I fit in PWC in Linkedin and here to check if anyone could help me with referral.

TIA.

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
