Accenture SI vs. Grant Thornton Auditing vs. Shell Finance to IB, exit opportunities
Hi Guys,
I am seeking for your advice.
Which of the following FT positions do you think would offer me better exit opportunities?
1. Accenture Systems Integration
2. Grant Thornton Auditing
3. Shell Finance
I am a finance major seeking for a break into IB or other finance jobs. But Australian job markets really sucks lately (10 years' low in M&A and all sorts of job cuts in banks) and these are my only options at the moment. I know that I probably need to get an MBA after a few years if I really want to work in IB. And that's my plan.
So which one do you think would be the best choice ?
Thanks guys.






A bit of more info, the
A bit of more info, the partner told me about the pay in final interview.
1. When you got in, you are an analyst ($60,000)
2. After two to three years you will become a consultant (90k+)
3. Manager (120k)
4. Senior manager (140k)
5. Senior executive (unknown)
I know, very tempting. But how about auditing and Shell finance, any insights?
The above is the Accenture
The above is the Accenture pay btw.
If you don't mind Oil & Gas
If you don't mind Oil & Gas IBD/ER, I'd take Shell. I'm not really sure that Accenture (with an IT focus) would be a good transition to IBD. However, Accenture places better than Audit into a business school - so it depends on how you want to transition (before or after b-school).

What are the chances for a direct transition from Oil&Gas to IBD ? How about a b-school, given that I won't have any pre-MBA IB experience ?

It depends on what else you
It depends on what else you do while at Shell - but pursuing the CFA, and networking will greatly improve your chances. I've seen many transitions from Financial Analyst at an oil company to equity research, because you bring a deeper understanding of costs, industry and potentially technical knowledge to the table.
