Is KPMG Financial risk management consulting good?

HI. Is KPMG Financial risk management consulting good? If started as a senior associate in this department, is it possible to move into IBD front office or McKinsey (Management consulting) after one or two years? And what is typical career path for this position? By the way, what is the salary level? Thank you.

FRM at KPMG will be probably very similar to a lot of bank MO positions. From what I know, they mostly price derivatives and illiquid books for banks. If you think you need to move and the Big 4 is the best option, try to get into a valuation or corp fin group.

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
