World you trade a C position (consultant) at the big 4 for a job at a hedge fund (Citadel type of fund)?

Why/why not? (Salary levels are of high importance)

I think 90% of people here would take Citadel. They pay ~1.5-3x what BCG does for similar tenure. Total pressure cooker but you can do anything for a couple years

Nope, I wouldn’t give up my life for money. Yea we do work a ton but there’s always a CHANCE for some WLB. Mega funds like citadel would laugh at you if you asked for anything like that. At least big 4 will try and fake caring about you.

They fire people a lot more frequently too. Not great culture for the most part. If I assume I was equally good at investing vs consulting I would take the higher paying option but for most of us that simply isn’t true

Hi Guy's, I don't know what I'm doing wrong at the time of refer anyone in the cognizant. Whenever I refer someone, his/her profile does not progress beyond the "under review" section.
So far I have referred 3 people and all three profiles are under review section and under review and " under review" is showing 0% for all three profiles. Please suggest me if I'm doing any wrong things at the time of the referral... And the job for which I am referring to anyone that is the latest only.Cognizant

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
