What do you think some of the major consulting firms’ (MBB, B4, major T2 places) valuations are? ACN is ~$150B for reference.

Huron fish: what salary range can I expect for the healthcare consulting associate role? I have 2 years exp from Big 4. Glassdoor’s range is pretty wide so trying to narrow it down. Thanks!

Can somebody please explain to me why MBB and other top consulting firms are so adamant that you have an MBA? I majored in accounting, finance, and operations management at a top 10 undergrad business school and then got my masters in information systems from the grad school program. I took multiple MBA courses as electives when getting my masters and it seemed like those classes were very basic and easy. Idk if I would learn anything in an MBA program that I hadn’t already learned in undergrad

Which MBB has the best analytics/data science practice?

Case interview prep: we all know how to do this post-MBA, but how to approach this for a lateral to MBB as a manager? Where to find "advanced" cases?

B4 🐠 - How does the comp for an Oracle ERP/EPM associate/manager at B4? Will be a manager at year end at a smaller firm and looking to switch over

What percentage of all big 4 employees do you think smoked today?

Just decided to go independent. Having trouble finding work as a contractor with other consulting firms. How do you get projects with the MBBs, Big 4, etc? I only know about pwc talent exchange...

How would you rank the non-MBB strategy shops? Including strategy “divisions” within larger firms

Do you think it’s better to go to immediately go a firm that’s beyond your skillset or work your way up to that firm? For example, going to a T2 firm as an experienced hire having never done consulting without or starting at a smaller consulting firm and then going to T2/MBB?

Many Big(?)4 mgrs /srmgrs /prtnrs remain traditional & creative-less: unable to stretch thinking / writing / comms beyond their mental-borders ——> they forcefully remain anti-immigration

From talking to students at multiple M7 schools, it seems like all of the BB/MBB/FAANG companies recruit at most if not all of the schools . So if you're planning on recruiting for one of these, is there really a major difference in career opportunities between each school? Asking because it seems like some schools are specifically known for finance vs consulting vs tech, but if the companies are all recruiting at all these schools, the differences don't seem as pronounced to me.

Working as an audit staff in big 4 shared service centre. It's been 2 years. I really don't like what I do there, also it seems I won't like what I'll be doing there even after becoming senior. Thinking of leaving and joining industry once ACCA qualified. (One more paper left). But people around me discourage that growth potential and earnings in industry are way less compared to public accounting. I know that too but I still want to leave. I'd like to stick to core accounting. Thoughts pls

I can't wait for the first zombie movie to go extra realistic and have a bunch of entry level hires at Big 4 firms complain that being eaten by a zombie is preferable to closing hair salons.

Coming from tech, $500k TC. What level at MBB pays this much? Feeling the itch to get back on the road again.

What is the range of second year Post MBA comp for MBB?

I am currently a SA at EY-Parthenon on the West Coast and looking to case for MBB. Comment if interested.

If I was going to make a transition to another firm (possibly Tier 2 or Big 4), when would be an appropriate time to do so? I have about 9 months of experience with IBM thus far. Wait 2 years? Less?

At a B4 stressed but managing it. Partner passed me over for a sr manager but treats me like one (constantly managing multiple projects, driving his practice initiatives and driving 1-2 /$300-500k of proposals every month. Boutique is offering me the TC that I won’t make here for 3-4 years - same level, more focused scope. Also talking to a tech firm that will be a slight bump (10-15%) but likely 25% less work/stress. Worried a little bit about career progression. Thoughts?

Big 4 schedules be like: 1:00 pm: Meet with my senior 2:00 pm: Attend team planning meeting 3:00 pm: Have mental breakdown at desk 4:00 pm: Smile for meeting with partner

Do any of the MBBs consult for FAANG or top tech companies? Or do all those companies exclusively use in house strategy teams? If any MBB does, a referral would be much appreciated

Anyone go through remote learning this year? Any perspectives to share?

Have an opportunity to roll of a 6-month engagement soon. PPEDs & SMEs would like me to return (minimum another 6 months). Client work is something I have absolutely no interest in (open SOW so a lot of BAU work). That being said, I don’t have another engagement lined up. I have been networking but my conversations have translated into involvement in pursuits/leads. I’d be walking away from guaranteed utilization on a G360 account and a potential agile promotion in May..gamble or not? thoughts?

Is $130k for Accenture consultant level with 9 yoe in industry, 0 yoe in consulting asking too much? I understand there are standard salary bands for different levels but it seems crazy they wouldn’t be willing to start someone higher with so much industry experience.

Currently a sr. analyst at ACN in strategy looking to make a jump. Anyone willing to make a referral to MBB/OW/ATK/LEK?

hey all, i’m 3 years into my career. some decent work produced, some awards (mostly student). after getting laid off last fall and many many applications and emails sent, I’ve decided to spend time and money on a creative PR stunt to get my dream agencies’ attention. I’ve decided I don’t want to settle any longer, and I’m ready to make the jump to the elite. so people that have made it to their dream agencies: when did it happen for you, what made it happen, and was it everything you hoped for?

How long do I have to stay to get my year end bonus*? (*if it exists)

Hey all - early 30’s and feeling really lost in terms of trying to figure out what I want to do in life. I’ve been in consulting for 5 years and just hate it. I’m torn between doing something for the greater good and making good money. Is there any way to do both? Also if anyone has recs for helpful books or podcasts on figuring out life, I would appreciate any and all suggestions!

Any insight of starting salary for international tax manager (JD/LLM) jumping from another big 4? Southern California specifically. Thank you!!

Mck 🐠: Looks like McK hires laterals into AP roles. What are the downsides to being a lateral associate partner? Is progression slower?How about compensation? Typically what years of exp do APs have?

Favorite maternity brands?

First time GMAT, scored a 650. Practice tests were coming in around 680, but bombed quant (41Q, 38V, 8 IR). I am confident that I can score better my next time around, but out of curiosity, what rank of school could I possibly get into with this score? 2 years work experience B4 consulting, very solid undergrad involvement/GPA. Trying to decide if it’s worth applying to my target schools this year or if I delay for another year in order to study more.
