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

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer.

Wondering what I should do.

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
