Deloitte Strategy vs. Alvarez & Marsal CPI
I am considering offers from both Deloitte Strategy and Alvarez & Marsal CPI. I have included some pros and cons below.
Deloitte Strategy:
-
higher base pay and signing bonus but lower EOY bonus
-
flexibility in location
-
better exit opportunities
-
may have less offering portfolio flexibility
-
start date is tentative fall 2024 right now and has possibility of being pushed back (need income for 2024)
Alvarez & Marsal:
-
lower base pay and signing bonus but higher expected EOY bonus (20-40%)
-
less location flexibility
-
lesser brand name
-
maybe better office culture because smaller firm
-
start date is February 2024 because I am graduating in December 2023
Please help and share your opinions!
Is this Deloitte S&O? If so, 100% take Deloitte. Alvarez & Marsal's CPI group is a turd of a group, and that's probably due to the higher focus on Restructuring and PEPI.
Is CPI really that bad?
Compared to the rest of A&M's core groups, it's not very desirable. The opportunity itself isn't a bad one by any means, but just not comparable to MBB/T2 firms or even Deloitte/PwC strategy groups (the real ones)
What is the deloitte total comp breakdown?
$95K base and $12.5K signing bonus
Nice, Thats a pretty strong offer. What does EOY bonus come out to?
What's the pay for A&M CPI? I heard they pay well compared to Big 4, right?
$85K base, $10K signing bonus
i was in the same boat this recruiting cycle and ended up choosing deloitte strategy
Could you share some reasons why you chose Deloitte?
I talked to 10+ employees at both firms and loved the cultures, but I just felt that Deloitte’s were at a higher caliber. Also, I really wanted to do solely strategy project but CPI is a lot of implementation and does not have a strict strategy group, at least according to a few partners i spoke to. Ultimately, the name of deloitte strategy is also more prestigious which was a big factor as well.
