Big4 Showdown

Hi WSO,

Give me some advice regarding the following 4 offers I have from each of the B4 for a city in Southern USA:

Leaning towards the last two options for $$$ reasons. Need insight regarding WLB, exit opps, bonus structure, culture, pretty much everything.

One specific question is Deal Tech at EY-P's work scope versus S& Generalist work scope, would Deal Tech be only deals (more work) for same pay? I have an interest in tech but also want experience in non-tech projects.

Thanks in advance.

 

EYP and S& are definitely the two best options here. Although Deal Tech is a solid group, I would go with S& here since working as a generalist is significantly more valuable early on than focusing on one practice. If you were recruited into EYP’s generalist class that would be more comparable.

Agree with the other posters on here with respect to S& and EY-P being the best options, and would also suggest S&

I have friends who worked in effectively the same role as the deals tech team at a different T2. Those can be some of the least interesting whilst simultaneously most demanding projects in consulting

Also, "interest in tech" =/= deals tech. You're probably more interested in strategy projects for tech clients
