EY vs ACN

Hi Guys,

I need some advice regarding the career choice. Which option would be better in terms of:
- quality of management consulting projects
- better exit opportunities to other industries or consultancies?

a) Analyst Consulting Group at Accenture - unfortunately the alignment to either technology or management consulting isn't confirmed until the start date
b) Advisory Consultant Programme - Performance Improvement department at E&Y

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, I would say that your pretty focused on IT stuff if you woul go with accenture. EY would probably offer you a broader experience in terms of clients and assignments that you work on. I would say´, if your really passionate about IT stuff, go with accenture. Otherwise go with EY

I was already so far beyond the point of no return that I couldn't remember what it had looked like when I had passed it.
