For experience or work life balance?

Go A&M - you will get paid way more.

Base is flat for each rank regardless of COL (seniors 120, managers 150) but you also get a % of your cash collections. I do not know how it is calculated or if performance is factored in (perhaps someone from A&M can elaborate), but essentially your total comp will end up being significantly higher than if you went the big 4 route. I have stayed big 4 because I have grown my network here but if I had known about A&M five years ago, I would have went there. You will work a lot but you will be compensated for it as well.

Hello,

I'm 26 with 5 years of experience and trying to transition to the B4 for more experience. I've noticed it's hard to land jobs at the Fortune 100 companies without this experience. Can anyone recommend the best way to make this transition? I fee like they only target college grads.

Thanks!
