visa.inc vs. pwc
i received an offer from visa for a financial analyst role. salary 80k plus bonus, location sf. pwc offered me a role as a transer pricing analyst. salary 65 plus bonus, location cleveland, oh.any thouhgts or advice?
as someone who left pwc completely burned out on travel, who recommends consulting to very few people- it might actually make sense in your situation.take every opportunity to hit the airport and get out of cleveland. bond with clients all over the country, then take your pick of exit opportunities
you guys really need to state which major city you're based in when putting this shit out there. i make $75k in a tier 3 low col city, and to have the same standard of living, i'd have to make $136k in sf, per the cost of living calculators. your $140k in a nyc/sf/la isn't that much better than his $70k in a low tier2 / tier 3 city. not hating on it, it's good money don't get me wrong, but you're comparing shit on absolute terms instead of relative terms.
edit: also need to add the amount of hours you work. if he's working 40 hours and you're working 55-60, its apples to oranges. both treat patients.

pt's evaluate and decide what needs to be done during treatment as well as establish a prognosis. 

once seen by the pt, a pta can perform treatments and can, in some circumstances adapt elements to the program as long as it is consistent with the plan established by the pt. however, this varies from state to state as to how much a pta can adapt a program...in some states, a pta can't even progress someone on a weight machine without approval of the pt. 

salary of a pt can be anywhere between 50-100% higher than a pta.

the amount of patients might be the same...however, sometimes pta might get more patients because they might be doubled during some treatments while a pt might be having more evaluations to do (which are one on one). a pt will certainly have more responsibility for paperwork. 

pta programs are usually housed a community colleges and you can get a complete list of both pt and pta programs in the us from www.apta.org. a good analyst should look and feel like a good associate - most partners would tell you they would prefer to staff a high performing analyst over an associate most times.

in general associates are tasked with less "raw" analysis [e.g., data cleaning, model creation] and are tasked with the "softer" roles [e.g., interviews, market research, leading client teams]. the best place to be in my opinion is a high performing analyst that can act in a standalone role which bridges the two types of skill sets. my rule of thumb is ideally >20% (the higher the better), though there are exceptions if you're about to price yourself out of the market or there are other benefits to working at the new firm (e.g. employee benefits are better, the work is not fulfilling, better client alignment, etc). i wouldn't accept a pay cut, though. Dear User,


thank you for your question.


Generally speaking, one of the most competitive RB offices is the London one due to:


- The general attractiveness of London as a city  

- The high number of candidates fluent in English as their second language and hence consider London as their first choice when looking for opportunities abroad


Regarding the application process I'd recommend to be yourself and show us why you want to be a consultant. Let us know what drives you and why we should hire you. So for me it is not about what you did but rather about why you did it and why this makes you a good candidate for us.


Best,


Yves on the whole, it's not too different - but europe / uk have better healthcare and social systems in place, and better working conditions / employment laws i loved them. i did an externship and turned down an internship for a big 4 firm. i liked the values, people, and extra perks of the firm i work for now a little more than cbiz but it was a really hard choice. cbiz phoenix has great people and the slightly smaller atmosphere seems to have its perks too.

Hello!


When you say experienced hired, this can still mean 2-3 different tenures. Can you specify? Precisely the bonus is the part that changes most as you go up in the org. 


ME is rather frozen, but again, could you specify office?


Hope it helps!


Cheers, 


Clara it's also important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of your personality / work style. mf credit arms will behave more like banking/pe where you work in deal teams, iterative processes, and driving towards pushing out a collective work product. personalities tend to be much more conformist, clean cut, vanilla professionals that are competent enough but nothing special.
independent hfs have much less structure, although this is obviously a broad generalization. much more likely that you will have people that are somewhat of misfits socially, weird, and have hard edges. it depends how much you would have to pay out on your current lease.
