Big 4 Technology Consulting vs. Bloomberg Sales & Analytics?
Like the title says, I'm conflicted in my choice between the two roles in these two companies and would appreciate some comments from industry insiders here.
Both positions will be entry level, graduate position and located in the London office.
Here is what I consider as pros and cons for each option, although they are from my assumptions. Please correct me on any of these if I'm wrong.
My main career interests are in fintech and in buy side firms
