Based on what I heard I would rate them at least at T2, probably closer to MBB than most T2s.

I would keep in mind that it is a very small firm (~100 people) owned by Charles River and has not grown much from what I can tell.

Charles River doesn’t break out marakons revenue in the 10K but online estimates put it at $25M which is probably low. I know partners selling that on their own.

I’m confused by all these posts about Product Owners. I’ve worked at 3 Bay Area-based tech companies over 6 years and never heard of a Product Owner. As a product manager, i work with my engineering and design partners to figure out what to build and then build it. What role would a product owner play in all this? My honest assumption is that this role was invented by companies that want to pretend to be doing agile but aren’t really, but I’m open to being proven wrong.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
