Update: PWC offer: $124k base with $5k sign on bonus Can I negotiate?? I currently work at Accenture and consult for Meta as a DE. salary is $93k. I have 2 full time YOE. I’m currently a senior analyst but likely to get promoted to consultant in December. My primary passion is data science and that’s what I’d prefer to be doing day to day. I am on the final round at PwC and virtual on-site for meta. PwC role is in their Data Science Labs as an ‘’Experienced Associate” which is the same level I am now, so technically I would be moving horizontally level wise and kind of putting myself back one year. Regardless, it wouldn’t be traditional consulting. I wouldn’t have chargability/utilization tracked, and would be doing more research type work combined with some client facing implementation projects. The salary is $120,000 and I would push for sign on bonus. The Meta role is a IC4 DE role, which I am pretty familiar with since I do DE work for them as they’re my client. The pay range is $109,000/year to $166,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits. My main question is: My PwC final interview is this week . My Meta on-site isn’t until end of September . I don’t want to say yes/no to PwC until I know about Meta - will they allow me to take that long to respond if I get an offer? Which offer would you take if you got an offer to both (which fingers crossed I do)? I feel like it’s deciding between my preferred field at PwC, and the prestige/pay of Meta lol. #data #datascience
Meta will be over 200k total comp
Dang what’s your experience been like being as consultant ? Do you use a lot of sql or python? Or both? Is the work challenging or are you just managing data pipelines? I would do meta for sure though as the above stated your comp will be easily over 200k. Take pwc and see if you can start in a few weeks and if meta gives you an offer leave pwc
My experience has been good, I use SQL and Python daily and the work varies but can be challenging, building end to end automation/udm/etc for various teams
Meta anyday
Big 4 tech is a cesspool of blow-average talent. No one really respects it. Tech is not prioritized. Holiday parties are pretty great, though. You’re going to be working with some of the brightest (sometimes toxic/pretentious) people at Meta, but you’re signing up for a more challenging/better experience (I came from there). Take PwC. Keep interviewing at Meta. If you get Meta, jump ship. It really doesn’t matter if you burn a bridge with PwC.
What others said - take pwc and keep interviewing. If you are looking for a mentor, I can introduce you to my coach who helped me get offers at Meta and Google DS. I am not sure if it can help with DE though but might be worth checking.
Run away from PwC.
Talk to us when you actually have offers
Added PwC offer to post - what do you think?
I'm with the PwC infra labs, do some DE as well. If you want to do menial work without the chance to grow real technical skills, this will be the place. They will overwork you but you'll be doing grunt work almost 95% of the time. In one word, you'll ruin your learning which I've already done. My resume looks so inferior when i apply to faang.
I updated the post to include my offer from PWC. Does it look decent or low?
