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

Would I be better suited for Deloitte SC or Manager level? I have 8 YOE total and 3 YOE in consulting. I have plenty of experience managing workstreams, just not a lot of people management. Not afraid of a challenge but also don't want to set myself up for failure if I'd be expected to jump in and manage 50+ person teams...

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer
