benefits in Big4 Management Consultancy

The big 4 are big in terms of headcount and the no. of 3rd party services they sell, but in terms of prestige and remuneration it's more like Tier 3.

The fact that the former big 5 Arthur Andersen spin off its most lucrative and branded business into Accenture and merge its other remaining bits and pieces into the current big4 tells you much.

Agreed, Big 4 are not even known for their consulting services.

Firms like ACN, Booz and Co, Mercer and Oliver Wyman are the true Tier 2 companies.

Training and medical benefits - what is wrong in these? Many companies offer them, including big4.

Yes, many managers/consultants in my company (most from NUS/SMU or other private uni, none from Ivy Legue) work on contracts. Sometimes contracts become regular jobs, other times the contracts simply expire. Some of these are mid-career professionals struggling to make ends meet.

BCG medical is amazing tbh i love the cigna coverage
