Do Big 4 TAS recruit at T15 MBAs? And what's the typical post MBA (I assume senior associate) rumeneration package?

No love? Damn
OP I'm at a top 10-12 and yes, TAS has been on campus a couple times/hires for summer/FT. As far as comp- not sure of specific numbers but a guy I know claims he is making a higher base at EY TAS than he was in IB on Wall Street. Not sure how accurate this is, but I'll bet the base comp is something like $140k.
Also, I've heard that EY TAS allows you to interview and get an offer before committing to a specific office. Pretty cool.
140k? That's strategy consulting base salary. I'm sure it isn't that high because I've seen associate to senior promotions without the MBA and their base is 90-115k. Maybe it's a little higher than than for an MBA... 120k at the most
Could you please elaborate on your last statement? And thanks for your comment!
I have not seen any posting for it on the job board or know anyone that has that goal. I just don't think that people go to a T15 for TAS role.
That's correct but I kind of like the area and am unable to break into it hence why the MBA. I did see a couple of TAS senior associates on linkedin but I'm not sure how the recruiting works or if they recruit at all.
I've successfully recruited for one of these roles and can confirm the salary is in the 140k - 150k range. Can also confirm that these roles are recruited at T15 programs. At my superday, there were students from Darden, Booth and Fuqua.
if you go to a T15 to get into Big 4 TAS you're doing it wrong
+1 I am currently in Big 4 TAS (Pre-MBA) and believe me if you go to Top-15 MBA there are way better options for you. Either do banking or consulting, as TAS is neither here nor there. Your pay will be lower, exit opportunities worse and you will be stuck doing a lot of boring things that look more like audit. (Reconciliations, Transformation schedule, Adjustments etc)
Why? What's wrong with Big 4 TAS? The work can be as stimulating as IB and it has better hours
Ok I don't know if its better in US, but where I am it is not as stimulating as IB. You get shit pay compared to strategy consultants and especially IB Associates, your hours are slightly better but as in all deal related professions they are still very bad, your exit options will be worse than those of someone coming out of BB/EB or top consulting firms. Basically its shittier version of both IB and Consulting, as has a lot of boring elements of audit in it.
Can speak to bval. Top 15 MBAs do recruit but it's rare. In the NY area, it's mostly T2/T3 programs like Simon/Fordham/Villanova and some Stern. That said, an MBA from a top 15 will likely bring you in at the manager level. At big 4, that's a 140k to 150k base and up to 20k bonus. At other shops, its around 180k all in.
Hope this helps.
I work in TAS (FDD) and frankly, you can do better from a T15 school. TAS is a good learning experience, but I don't see it as a viable long-term path. While the hours are infinitely better than IB, you still have to deal with the BS of getting access to dataroom at 5 PM on Friday and working all weekend to prep for a Management meeting that comes with transaction-related work. Plus, the pay/perks aren't nearly as good as consulting - and I'm not just talking about MBB.
I actually enjoy the work, for the most part, and I believe it teaches you great skills for sifting through data and how to analyze financial statements. That said, I feel like you might as well go all-in and do IB for 2 years and have the world as your oyster afterward while being paid multiples what you do in TAS or go corporate and work your way up while having more of a life than you do in professional services.
Yes, but it's seen as a backup plan. At least it is at my school, which is the T10-15 range.
Big 4 TAS (Valuation) checking in. I resonate with other ppl ITT that while you'll definitely learn a lot from the job, you could do better with a T15 MBA. Besides, why do you need an MBA to get in TAS? I got in straight from undergrad... AND I'm planning to get an MBA to jump to IB.
Even if you do want to work for a Big 4 firm for whatever reason, shoot for the strategy group (especially Deloitte S&O).
