Posting for a friend: My friend got an offer from both Deloitte and Booz Allen with similar compensation for the SDET position. Can anyone please suggest which one is better for tech, growths and overall? YOE: 3 years Current TC: 🥜 #tech #boozallen #boozallenhamilton #deloitte
BAH is just a feeder company for Deloitte. They both do a ton of gov’t work so no real clearance difference re BAH vs Deloitte GPS. It would be interesting to see the TC comparison for your friends offers. If BAH >= D for the same work, that would be interesting.
So far as I know the base salary is the same . I am not sure about other add ons like sign on bonus, perf bonus or other benefits. I will find that out from my friend and update. If BAH and Deloitte TC is equal, which one would you recommend?
Well, Deloitte, all else equal. And that’s not because it says Deloitte next to my handle. Caveat: I’ve dealt with people from a lot of consulting companies, including those two, and there really is a lot of variance by dept, project, team, manager and so on. That said, Booz is not known for its generous pay and benefits or for continuing to bump those up over time to prevent employee attrition. If you know what I’m saying.
Deloitte 10/10 times. Even if they’re doing federal. Deloitte has a booming federal practice but is founded in commercial work. Pay potential is greater at D as well, hikes at Booz are limited. Most importantly exit opportunities at Deloitte are far superior in most cases. Being a former BAH, culture is good/fine and comp was okay on my first position but that’s about it
Thank you for the suggestion.
Neither
Yes of course. Thanks for your great feedback!!
Truth
I am bias but I would say Deloitte. The WLB is better at BAH. Deloitte has more offerings and areas whereas BAH is still vast but niche compared to Deloitte. Life doesn't get complicated until you get to the manager level. If you need specific details DM me and I can see if I can answer them.
I’m ex Booz that went to D and haven’t updated Blind yet. If Booz pay is similar or higher, choose Booz. WLB is better. But, as others say, D is a more recognizable brand which will translate to more exit opps. I’m not super hardcore about WLB and I wanted more $ so I switched. Others mileage will vary
Can you help me out with a referral, sry ik you’re ex-Booz but I’m desperate 😅 Im an Entry-level recent grad with a BS/MS in Mechanical/Aerospace Eng. (Reached my limit with DMs, can provide an email if you’re willing)
If TC is same I would go to Booz. Work life balance will be FAR better
+1
Deloitte has a better brand, but Booze Allen is still strong. Deloitte will most likely have worse work life balance than BAH, but more potential exit opportunities. BAH might lead to a security clearance which can lead to really good pay, and really good work life balance.
This is great, thank you for the comparison.
