KPMG has solid IR people, but Mandiant has the industry leading brand and a company structure that fully supports DFIR. Depends on what exit ops you're looking for and when you're looking to jump

I would agree overall, if your looking to stay technical mandiants brand in that space is solid. If you want to enter management then those above will recognize kpmg much more as a stronger endorsement of your abilities.

What I will say is that mandiant today isn’t mandiant of a few years ago and its in some ways more pwc than mandiant now. Most of the original core talent that made it has moved on which is to be expected as it’s no longer the startup it was and is more product/soc focused now.

We actually make money at KPMG in DFIR :)

That hurt

Real talk though - Mandiant is full of great folks too. We’re both solid DFIR firms. KPMG is not a product vendor though, so we don’t have to use FireEye’s once amazing now crappy products.

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....
