Accenture or deloitte which better

I would have tried to move into Deloitte Consulting, but that's something that might be pointless. Deloitte Advisory and Consulting rarely work on the same projects. In fact, they Consulting have no idea what folks in Advisory do. Career Goals. The pay is better than Deloitte Advisory.

There is a 15K difference. Plus, the exposure to Management Consulting is great and the possibility to join Strategy projects is there. Plus, a good amount of people who are at Accenture come from Ivy League schools, which is great in terms of connections. This will take a few years with a high risk of not happening at all. Their reasons included:. They also cautioned that the move from consulting to PE would be a steep uphill battle, given how competitive the industry is and how few consultants are able to make the jump.

Check out WSO's Consulting Industry Report which includes company reviews and compensation stats from consulting companies. Consulting Industry Report. I am a rising senior who was focused on strategy consulting during undergrad recruiting, and I was very turned off by ACN for their lack of exposure to strategy.

PE firms generally only recruit out of consulting from MBB. There are a few exceptions to this, as boutiques with a strategy focus and strong PE commercial due diligence groups L.

PE straight out of Accenture is practically unheard of. Think about why you want to go into PE coming from Big 4 advisory that is a seriously huge jump! I do not doubt that they are there, but I wouldn't put the "connections to Ivy people" down as a pro. I don't mean to knock Accenture too hard, but it's not the cream of the crop from the Ivies that will be there.

I think you are mistaken. PE is ridiculously competitive, so PE firms have a significant upper hand in recruiting relative to the applicants and are able to be super picky about their candidates. With all that said, Accenture would probably allow you to go to a better MBA program. If you can hit the top 15 then you should be set if you still want to exit to IB and maybe MBB depending on where you end up.

A 15k bump in salary sounds pretty sweet too. Good luck. However, to be fair Accenture just integrated this new rotational program where analyst are encouraged to diversify their experiences in different industries and consulting groups MC, TC.. Trying to get into PE out of Accenture would be practically impossible.

I probably did get carried away. I just happen to have connected with some Accenture folks who went to some Ivy League university. However, I agree with you " the people who ended up at Accenture were the ones who struck out for most other consulting recruiting". But my main goal is to be placed in a top MBA program.

At this point, I am definitely leaning towards Accenture. I like the exposure to different industries, projects, and to be involved with MC projects.

Thanks a lot for your input! It sounds like you could run the risk of swapping to work at A that isn't much better itself than D, while losing what prestige comes with working at D.

I'm not sure if the prestige of MC would be diluted though. I agree, whenever people compare Deloitte vs Accenture most people would pick Deloitte. However, my case is a bit different. I'm comparing Deloitte Advisory vs Accenture consulting. Deloitte Advisory is part of the accounting side and the work is not the traditional consulting. Jumping to PE from either firms is just tremendously difficult. Thanks for your suggestions! Go to Accenture, this is coming from a guy who used to work at DC.

As you said, trying to get into DC from Advisory is nearly impossible. Since Consulting and Advisory are two separate legal entities, there is basically zero incentive for Partners to facilitate staff moving from one to the other, I wouldn't expect it to happen.

The clock is ticking and you only have years before you'll likely be applying to MBA programs. I think Accenture consulting will be viewed more favorably than Deloitte Advisory. The work will probably be more interesting as well. I'm glad a fellow Deloitte ex- employee shared his opinion.

I am definitely leaning towards Accenture. DC, as we both agreed, would be a very difficult transfer from the Advisory side. A lot people join the Advisory practice and later realize that Consulting is more interesting. However, the company partners don't really see a benefit for this switch.

In fact moving from the different groups within Advisory is incredibly difficult as well. I agree, time keeps moving and it seems that Accenture would be more interesting both the work and when trying to make it to a top MBA program. Thanks for your suggestion!! Qui in fugit et inventore.
