EY update your iPhone
No. I work in a field where we consistently beat 2 of MBB for work because they lack actual experience in the sector. My opinion of MBAs is pretty low on average, so as a primary talent pool id be frustrated.
Prob not unless there was a serious pay bump... Like 30% Very happy at EY!
Surprisingly agree with my EY counterparts. I️* say surprisingly because I️* came in thinking I️* was settling for big four because I️* missed the recruiting block for MBB in college, but I’m very happy here
The go to refrain here appears to be "we beat them at the work." But if you could then be a leader at that work within an MBB and also make 2x the pay...?
I think it depends on how much you value your work life balance and what your end goal is. At EY, a lot of the time you can still perform as a top rated resource working 45 hours a week. But, the pay is going to be shit by comparison until you make Partner.
MBB base and bonus are way higher than big 4
I updated btw
Let’s settle down BA1. Nobody needs to go and die because of a comment on fishbowl. Sheesh. Eat a snickers bud
I left for Bain. Pretty happy about it and the pay is way more.
I would just because it opens up more opportunities long term. Similar to some others here, I work in a space where MBB doesn't worry us too much when we are competing for work.
Seems like most people wouldn't because most big4 are niche/technical and like that work, which is fine.
I think our pay's about the same; we don't travel but MBB clients are probably bigger than ours, so not sure - that's a tough decision. In UG I would've said yes but I really enjoy the people I'm with - would it be worthwhile to take a risk on that as well? Hmm
Our base is higher, our bonuses are lower... if I was after money I would've stayed in banking so money can't be the only thing I'd evaluate on
No
I also agree with the other EY guys. If I were to jump it would be for the perks, but even getting lunch covered is at some point just jumping for the sake of jumping.
I don't have much visibility into the inter-firm competition in my specialty (Cyber), but I generally like the work I do as it is. Also my group is pretty cool all things told - I know from experience how hard it is to find one you mesh well with.
As for BCG1's post, I don't really want to do the sales and other leadership things just yet. I wanna do the technical work itself.
No. Have never even seriously considered.
Yea better exits
Nope. Work life balance is not worth the hours and sacrifice of life. The firm might help your career but if you are good you will succeed either way in life
100 percent raise would be a different story bcg1, obviously. But not quite the delta.
MBB is moving into having actual capability to deliver real work, so i would certainly consider a group that has a material portion of experienced hires but MBAs alone no thanks.
