Which firm should I choose? Have offers from both PwC and Deloitte. Actively interviewing at KPMG. Pay and Role are similar between D and PwC. Role - Manager, Department - Cyber, HCOL , TC - 155 to 160K. Since Role and TC are similar decision would be based WLB, People and Culture, Growth opportunities. Let me know your thoughts fishes

Any sort of technical role I would go with Deloitte, they are good at it. That said, Kpmg would easily match that kind of pay too. Pwc is on a cohort model (smaller raises if you have high base to regress you to the mean) and your pay will lag eventually compared to K or D at PwC. I would choose D or K over PwC, and I think pwc has more levels to partner as well.
What team are you interviewing at?

Edit- Saw cyber. Would definitely pick Deloitte over K or P. Would pick K over PwC too.

Come to daddy D

Kpmg

Well it’s kinda a meme to bag on KPMG. But they are a fair bit smaller of a firm. And my personal experience in the market has been that they are not usually in the mix and if they are and are winning something it is due to desperate tactics like very low rates on staff aug type work and then they would try to renegotiate to increase fees. Out of all the big 4, I have found them to be an outlier. I’m sure someone could do ok there and they may have some decent practices but I never saw it.

PwC is good at Cyber.

Don't pick KPMG for anything technical unless it's in Cyber Defense or Incidents Response. I just jumped ship for that reason.

I was hired under the pretense that they wanted to build out their technical delivery in the S&G group. This was not the case, and every cyber project that involved any implementation work was not well received or pursued.

They ended up putting me on a lot of CMAs and audit work as a manager before I left. Definitely not what I signed up for, and had little or no partner support for anything other than roadmap and audit work.

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
