I would still switch from Deloitte consulting SM to MBB analyst if those were my options. A MBB consultant/associate makes more than a Deloitte SM and you’ll make that level in 2-3 years at MBB anyways. Earnings trajectory and exit opps means that you will still earn more at MBB in the long run. Not to mention that Deloitte salaries by level are decreasing and MBB salaries are increasing. Deloitte is that bad.

Unless you somehow have an amazing WLB and make 130k+, I would.

Assuming you have 2-4 YOE, that’s not a big step back, and you’ll be above your peers at Deloitte in comp after 2/3 years at MBB, even after their 5th or 6th year in Deloitte...

Absolutely! Especially if on the generalist track at MBB?

Yes!

This is a no brainer!

I’m in a bit of a unique situation where I’m deciding between MBB and MM private equity (both NYC, I have ~2.5 YOE).

Main considerations are money and WLB, especially weekends. I’d be curious to hear perspectives on WLB differences between the two either anecdotally or from people who have experienced both. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello everyone, I am a fresher and I recently joined a management consulting firm(3 months) with 12+LPA and I realised MC is not for me.
I tried giving it a shot for the first 2 months but then I am just dragging there after. Anyhow yk how it's in MBA, campus placement leli without a thought plus lack of experience in everything. It's tough out there.
I am desperate to switch to creative/marketing/branding/advertising. If anyone could help/guide/refer me in the right direction that'd be great.

Just got promoted to audit senior, but can’t imagine doing another busy season. I have some forensics internship experience from college and always wanted to pivot to forensics. It sounds like the firm is working mostly on COVID stuff these days, but I’m more interested in doing investigations work. If I transfer and have no choice but to work on insurance/claims, would it be better to stay in auditing? Is the insurance/claims work demanding/difficult intellectually wise?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
