Career Path Confusion! Deloitte vs GE Capital

Hey everyone!

I just recently received job offers from Deloitte Consulting for their Project Analyst Position, GE Capital for their Investment Analyst Program, and the National Futures Association for the staff auditor position.

I am a bit conflicted on which one would be the best choice. Many people have said Deloitte is a great place to work with good benefits and opportunity for growth within the company, but that they don't enjoy the hours. Then I've heard working with GE also has many opportunities and is a good company to work for in terms of the network and so on so forth.

I know the roles of the positions I've been offered all differ, but any suggestions on what would offer the best opportunities for my future seeing that this will be my first year right out of undergrad?

Thanks!

 

GE Capital

To clarify my position, GE Capital is great all around.

I have heard through my network that Deloitte is a sweatshop and the turnover rate is fairly high. Again, this is just what I have heard.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

Yea sure. GE Capital - Investment Analyst. GE Capital provides asset-based loans to clients. IA's travel to client sites, audit the client and perform risk analysis of the client's financials and pledged collateral. 2-3 year rotation grogram.

Deloitte Consulting - Project Analyst. PA's are assigned to a project that the consultants are working on. The PA's is responsible for making sure the entire project stays on track and is profitable for Deloitte. It's a lot of forecasting budgets, allocating project resources and creative problem solving.

As far as life goals - still working on those. 5 years time I'd like to be getting an MBA. A career goal at the moment is upper management - making strategical decisions for the future of the company. I realize how broad that is but beyond that I'm just not that sure. Thanks again for any advice you can offer.
