Assurance Associate
Pros: Starting salary is pretty good and so are the benefits. Plus, it's a prestigious firm so people are impressed when they find out you work or have worked there.
Cons: The pay does not justify the work you have to put in. You basically sell your soul to PwC and whatever client you are focusing on. Your weekends are never free and you must always be available to answer your phone and email messages. People get competitive about the hours they put in, and they also expect you to go to the outside functions like client dinners and what not. If you are single, have no friends, no boyfriend/girlfriend prospects, and you hate spending any time with your family, then go ahead, I'm sure you will be happy at PwC. But you can't succeed there and have a life at the same time - it just does not work that way.
