Deloitte S&O BA vs. Accenture MCDP BA

Long time lurker, appreciate the wealth of information I've gleaned from WSO to date.

Currently deciding between Deloitte S&O Business Analyst and Accenture MCDP Business Analyst (within Accenture Federal Services, as opposed to their LLP/commercial practice). Both offers are 70K-75K, comparable signing bonuses, so pay isn't a factor.

DISCLAIMER: I'm already leaning towards Deloitte, based mainly on my own perceptions and supplemented with "research" here on WSO.

Does anyone have input as to why (if at all) I should consider MCDP over Deloitte S&O? Just want to make sure I'm making the right choice here.

 
Pissingintowind:
Just to clarify, MCDP (federal or non-federal) is miles ahead of Deloitte Consulting, and any other Big 4 consulting group, but S&O is an entirely different beast.

It would be cool if you could remove your head from your anus before you post.

My drinkin' problem left today, she packed up all her bags and walked away.
 
Pissingintowind:
To further clarify, Deloitte Consulting has three main practice areas: S&O, Human Capital, and Technology. The latter two are roughly equivalent to ACN SI/T.

Your explanation makes absolutely no sense. You just stated in essence New York Strip Steak (Deloitte S&O) > Flank Steak (ACN MCDP) > Chicken Marsala (Deloitte Tech/HC) = Chicken Parmesan (ACN SI/T) = Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches (Other Big 4 Advisory). Three totally different things for people with different tastes and skill-sets.
