Deloitte Business Risk Consultant v. Accenture Strategy Analyst - which to accept
Hello all,
I am a senior at a public business school. I would say it is one of the strongest undergraduate targets in the Midwest.
Recently, I was offered two positions: one with Deloitte as a Business Risk Consultant and the other at Accenture in their Strategy practice. So I am very conflicted on what position to take. If I take the Business Risk role at Deloitte is there any way I could move to S&O? Also how do the exit options compare for both positions?
To be honest, I am worried that the role at Deloitte is not "pure strategy consulting" and is much more invested in their advisory and public accounting. However, is the Deloitte name worth the compromise in role design?
If you were me, which position would you take and why?
Thanks Monkeys for your help!
I would personally accept the Accenture Strategy role and not take the risk of being pigeonholed into risk consulting. Accenture Strategy is a great place to start your career and it will afford you the chance to move up to MBB/S&O/S& after an MBA (if you so choose to do that).
Hands down ACN strategy.
This. I wouldn't say MUCH in statement #2, but when its time for you to move on, you are going to spend a lot of time explaining to others about how you weren't in S&O, because that's what people think of when they hear Deloitte + consulting. You aren't getting the advantage of the name if you aren't involved in the bread and butter of Deloitte (audit or S&O).
So just to clarify the business risk position is not actually a part of the Deloitte Consulting practice but part of Deloitte public accounting?
Also thank you all for weighing in!
It is interesting that you have also said that Accenture may have better exit options and prestige in the industry. I was always under the impression that Deloitte was a powerhouse in the consulting space.
The work you do is more important than the company you work for. Deloitte S&O is different than Deloitte audit, Accenture strategy is different than Accenture tech implementation.
Deloitte is pretty powerful in consulting. But that's not what you'll be doing.
