I wouldn’t let prestige factor into your decision. Where can you learn the most and gain the best experiences relevant to starting your career?

Big 4 carries more weight to people looking for names, by a pretty wide margin. Doesn’t mean the work itself is better, just the way things are.

Great thank you!

Big 4 has a few pretty big accounting scandals, but can't match Nestle

Haha true

Honestly, why do people care so much about the “prestigious” names? The job/work, team, and culture are really what will drive your day-to-day satisfaction. Take the job where you feel most comfortable and will be most rewarding and motivating to you, not the brand name.

I would go for the big 4 because it's a little more prestigious, but go with what you're intuition is telling you.

Totally different jobs! You can always start out in consulting and transition to CPG a few years later

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman. For example, "Oh we have these two women doing x, y, and z and they do it well, a well-oiled machine." etc. I was the only woman in the room. They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
