Big 4 Management Consulting (not Strategy &, S&O, Parthenon) vs. Accenture Management Consulting.

How do the exit opps, compensation, and travel compare between big 4 mc and Accenture mc? I am referring to the regular advisory/consulting practices at the Big 4 - not Strategy &, S&O, etc.

Accenture is a lot of implementation. Can't speak for the US but in the UK generally the best MC divisions are PwC and Deloitte. Exit opps in MC are pretty decent - a lot of T2s and some MBB. Exit to industry is also ok but it depends on the industry. For travel I can only say that I know Deloitte does the Mon-Thur travel (I suspect others do too).
