I have always wanted to work for the big 4. Found the idea of working with different clients, travel and the learning experience to be exiting . Not sure if this is just in my head and the grass looks greener on the other side . I currently work in program mgmt at Apple and wanted to understand if anyone has made the switch from faang to consulting? Is the pay and lifestyle rewarding. Should I experience this life before I get older ?PwC EY Deloitte KPMG

Is it me or are recruiter douchebags? Today, I met with one to discuss a potential job offer and he was rude asf. Like, what’s up his ass haha! Maybe my salary expectation was higher than his current pay? Haha! Do you all have an experience you could share?

One of our tenured EDs left and we subsequently hired an Associate (that will be promoted to VP) to take the spot… i found it very weird how mgmt didn’t hire some equivalent in yrs of exp and hired someone with substantially lower experience. What is the rationale here? Was it to perhaps lower the budget?

Does anyone here work for Silicon Valley Bank? They recently acquired Boston Private. I’m a candidate for a job at Boston Private. Wondering if SVB is planning layoffs in the near term at BP? Also, does anyone know the anticipated benefits to be rolled out from SVB as the parent company? Specifically interested in health insurance providers. Thanks in advance for any information!
