Personally know of a literature grad who somehow became a tech analyst there -> know him/her personally to be completely brainless with no tech background whatsoever.

So go ahead and apply, they have no standards.

Lmao I know who you're talking about. She's a complete airhead.

MBB > Tier 2 > ACN > Big 4 > Boutique

B4 and ACN should be around same tier. Tbh Deloitte is probably the most prestigious of the B4.

nah .. deloitte is prestigious in the US, not Asia. these firms operate as a network of firms, not 1 global firm due to audit restrictions. however, KPMG seems to be last everywhere LOL

ACN / Big 4 belong to same tier, at least to consultants.

The reason why the retrenchment exercise struck the US office hard it’s because the design and strategy guys are the first to be let go— company’s moving towards PMO focused tasking.

It’s a **** show, I joined in as a CL11 Analyst and am being moved over to CDO. I wouldn’t mind the loss of prestige but the CDO track doesn’t offer OT comp. The organizations too big, local HR doesn’t know the deets, partners are busy overselling and undercutting protects (which severely affect our billable), tech freshers are severely under skilled (I don’t blame em cuz for a comp sci grad, ACN pay grade is laughable thus attracting low caliber talent)

Sigh... I could go on all day. If I have to sing one song of praise to this company is the exit opp available. One could easily jump to a 2nd tier strat house or jump straight to the industry in which you’re a subject matter expert in.

Wouldn't say EASY to jump to 2nd tier strat house but probably have advantage. Similar to someone in ATK - easy to jump to MBB? No. But have a decent edge over others.

Unfair comparison there.

The leap from 2nd Tier to MBB is wayyy steeper compared to a jump from ACB to 2nd Tier. Have not heard of a Singaporean successfully shifted laterally to MBB without doing a target MBA program.

Clock in a year or two at ACN, get a partner referral and doing a jump to 2nd Tier strat houses is ezpz. Reason being an experienced hire could already be prepping deliverables on day 0.

Possible for high performers.. MBA not as important as before.

Thank you for sharing those profiles. Giving me a glimmer of hope in breaking into MBB. Currently am a “Salesforce Application Architect” which is a pedantic job title for a bottom feeding data management consultant.

I was this close thinking whether I should put marriage and BTO on hold just to take up a loan and do a target MBA.

Which firm are you at now?

Taking up a loan to do a target MBA will set you back >100K (excl. oppt cost).

MBB Analyst only arnd ~6k pm maybe ~9K-10K pm for MBA Consultants, so think about the trade-off.
