Strategy& vs. Capital One Business Analyst
Hi all! I'm deciding between Capital One Business Analyst and Strategy& FS for my junior year internship. Does anyone have any advice, especially relating to the type of work and exit opportunities?
Strategy& is definitely the better choice in here in terms of comp for FT as well as prestige and quality of exit ops. Take it and don't look back.
I received a FT offer for Strategy& next fall and can confirm that my friends at Capital One are getting paid a few k more with a larger signing bonus. Could you talk more about the typical exit ops for S&?
Is this including all-in comp (Base+Signing+Year-end Bonus)? Also you have to keep in mind relative prestige of the firm and trajectory of comp as well. But good for your friends!
S& for sure
curious why s&? c1 has good brand name, better WLB, comparable MBA exits by the look of it. also a lot of other posts online say they're fairly equal. and as far as i can tell all the other commenters are juniors in college
> comparable MBA exits
This could be largely driven by selection bias, as there's little reason to get an MBA while you're already in strategy consulting beyond wanting a couple years off from working, since it actually slows down your career advancement (in consulting at least)
hmm... not sure I understand your point. seems like you're saying people at S& only get an MBA to take a couple years off, but unsure how that plays into selection bias. could you clarify please?
So one of them is consulting and one of them isn't
At S&, you'll see more rapid advancement, and exit options are highly diversified since you can spin your experience in different ways due to the project-based nature of work
The downside is WLB is worse, but most people that want to enter into consulting are in the camp that a few years of intense work are worth the more rapid career advancement
You have two great options and you should feel very proud of yourself for getting them, but if you want to be a consultant then the answer could not be more straightforward
