Pretty good 👌

My experience has been very good.

I've not worked with a more pleasant and supportive group of consultants.

There were some struggles a few years back post-merger, but senior leadership has invested A LOT in building a strong, supportive culture.

That's good to hear. I was about to post that I'd heard it was pretty bad post-merger but it sounds like that issue has been noted and addressed. Good.

Are there sectors where Strategy& Deals compete better with MBB than other sectors? If so, which ones?

How are the usual working hours? 9-9 weekdays, weekends off?

Thanks for your reply, really helpful.

I think as consulting goes our culture is very friendly and quite chill. I have friends who were at MBB and PE, and they say the culture is very cut throat. In my 5 years at S& I’d say that is not the case here which is nice. We have the up or out model so people are still very driven. Downside is the “industry cluster” alignment of you don’t want to specialise and the brand is still somewhat confused externally. I know it isn’t related to your Q but Manager pay is very good in my opinion.

I think your “Manager” grade is slightly shifted down the timeline to ours, unless this diagram is wrong

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
