What might be a better career path?

1) KPMG Data & Analytics - Tax Ignition

2) FTI Consulting - Corporate Finance: Restructuring

Both are above 70k in salary in MCOL

Im leaning towards KPMG... both would be right out of college, entry level.

Data & Analytics. Restructuring is very cyclical and doesn’t give a lot of transferable skills

I would personally choose 2. Depends on your interests

I would go with KPMG, it will look good on your resume to come from a Big 4. Plus learning how to use D&A will help you in everything else. You don't really use anything you learn in College in the 1st two years after school. So anything that will help your analytical skills will come into play in any role you leave KPMG for.

fti consulting r/x if you still have a decision to make. there is a unique 2 year run way for lots of restructuring work. the exposure that you will have to different companies and issues will be incredible. data and analytics can be used in your work as a tool.

Thanks for the input! I have chosen FTI for those reasons among others.

70k for straight out of college? That’s really solid, MCOL S1 audit and tax barely get 70k. I should’ve specialized more...
