Help me chose offer

Ok guys trying to chose a job based on work, travel, and exit opportunities either to PE/IB/Hedge or top MBA.

Offers are at:

Accenture SI
Deloitte S&O
PwC Finance Advisory
EY FSO
Reznick Valuation
Cornerstone

Let me know !

 

I'd go Deloitte S&O if you want to do strategy work, and Cornerstone if you want to do economic consulting. The latter will position you well for top MBA, and little to no travel involved. Heavy travel, of course, with Deloitte.

None of the above will let you easily lateral into PE/Hedge prior to MBA (or even post-MBA). I don't think you can lateral easily into Ibanking either prior to MBA (maybe best shot with Big 4 positions), but will be fairly simple to go into banking post-top-MBA.

Echo chronk3k's comments. Overally, I'd personally go for Deloitte S&O and then MBA.

Avoid Accenture SI and EY FSO. Accenture SI is mind numbingly uninteresting work and EY FSO is more for accountants. Not too familiar with Reznick or Cornerstone. PWC is rebuilding their consulting practice. It's growing fast but still not up to par with Deloitte S&O. Go with S&O.

Anyone know Deloitte Boston travel ? Also would it work a consideration for EY FSO since you work directly with PE/Hedge and BB ?

Deloitte Boston travels a bit more than NYC but I'm sure you can ask to have minimal travel. There's a lot of flexibility around those things. Are you invited to attend their sell day this week? If so you should go and ask away

 

Deloitte, followed by Accenture and PwC. This all depends on the team/department you'll be joining.

Accenture always gets clumped into tech, but I previously had an offer from an ex-McKinsey partner to join their new and rapidly growing M&A team in London. They had carried out quite a bit of interesting work at the time and the experience and skill sets gained would have been easily transferrable to work at a PE house.

For ibanking I'm generally a stronger advocate of joining Big 4 TAS rather than strategy. Doing due diligence, valuations or corp finance is a lot more relevant than any strategy work.

Also keep in mind that the Big 4 is more like the Big 2 now. PwC and Deloitte are much more respected these days than EY and KPMG, and mostly end up with the better projects and clients.
