As former Deloitte, I am going to pull a bold one (like Masayoshi Son) “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. And then you win”. We are at stage 2 now.

Being *That Guy*...on a more serious note, I wonder if Deloitte actually is still more exclusive than Harvard?

Latest figures from the global FY19 fiscal results press release says Deloitte hired over 90k employees. As of 2015, there were purportedly 3.5M applications worldwide, but I haven't seen an updated applicant figure since then.

For the class of 2023, Harvard had a 4.6% acceptance rate, as a point of comparison.

Listen bud, if Harvard’s application fee was 0$. I would’ve applied even if I had 0.01% of getting in when I was 18

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
