“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Yes, with S& and EYP clearly ahead of Deloitte (especially outside the US) and KPMG effectively non-existent
Since S& and EYP go head-to-head, which one do you think take the slight lead?
For transactions (M&A, divestitures, spin offs) - EYP leads the market. Not sure about other areas
S& pays more at all levels, and S& Deals group is probably on par with EYP, Bain PEG, etc.
This would be highly market specific, but globally, I would give the lead to S&.
Haven’t paid attention to the consulting world in a while but wasn’t Deloitte once the clear best of the Big4 and almost competing with MBB? What happened?
Only in the mind of Deloitte employees and their marketing department
Yes, Deloitte is the best of the Big4 for everything except pure strategy. For pure strategy teams, S& (PWC) and EYP (EY) are better than Monitor (Deloitte).
