If you don’t want to do federal, I wouldn’t take the Deloitte offer. From my understanding (and being in Northern Virginia, where both practices are based), the Capital One program is highly selective, and recruits heavily from the ivies + Stanford, MIT, Chicago, etc. I believe many of those schools send students to the commercial side of Deloitte, not federal.

I interned at Capital One, I chose to work work at another consultancy FT. Absolutely take the CapOne offer. If you are thinking about a federal s&o offer because you want to be a strategy consultant, you're making a mistake. My understanding is federal s&o is basically a fourth tier consultancy where everyone spends their time unsuccessfully trying to move to commercial. I had a blast at Capital One, did a lot, and it was looked upon favorably when I was in FT recruitment. My FT offer was very competitive, to say the least. Based on my knowledge, most people that were given an offer went back. As far as where other people ended up: Given offers: McKinsey (multiple), Bain (multiple), JPM IBD, BlackRock, Deloitte commercial S&O, UChicago Med, APT (multiple), Harris Williams, Stanford Grad School, EY Strategy No offer: KPMG Strategy, BCG, Bates White, Accenture Strategy I'm sure I'm not thinking of everyone but you get the picture.
