Message: If C1's business analyst is more of an I-Banking job you have to consider the fact that you will be working a lot more hours. When you break down the salary by the hour you would probably get more money per hour at ACN. But because I'm not sure what the C1 job is that may not be correct (I would love to know). I know analysts out of college at Wachovia that work on average 80-100 hours per week, make around 90k/yr. To keep them happy they get a free dinner and a car ride home if they work past a certain time (I think it's 9pm). I would prefer to have a life outside of work and not get burnt out at the start of my business life cycle. But if you can tough it out, why not make a lot of money and play with it when you have the time....but in my opinion we are not getting any younger.
