Ill put it to all of you out there:
two offers, same level, same grade ( not grad), same salary
one is for Roland Berger
one is for EY new consulting division
which one would you chose?
|
Pick one. Talk to the other and negotiate, if they give you a better offer then take it, otherwise, deny it and accept the one you picked first. After all, money is important!
|
Roland Berger - no hesitation
|
If this is your first job in consulting - go for RB; better name, more stable company; you're more likely to have the chance to learn tried and tested methods.
If you're looking to make a move into an area where you can stamp your mark, then E&Y would be my choice, as they're all new.
In finishing - you lucky barsteward!
|
RB- without a second thought.
Rumor has it EY are in a bit of a pickle- if you call the reception and ask for the consulting division they allegedly redirect you to Cap Gemini- that can't be good for business...
|
Roland Berger for sure.
EY have problems. Their consulting division wallows in between "out of their depth" and "over the top".
There is near-zero ascension to partner level, and they're storing up an incredible backlog of directors, ADs and senior execs.
