Help me chose offer

I'd go Deloitte S&O if you want to do strategy work, and Cornerstone if you want to do economic consulting. The latter will position you well for top MBA, and little to no travel involved. Heavy travel, of course, with Deloitte.

None of the above will let you easily lateral into PE/Hedge prior to MBA (or even post-MBA). I don't think you can lateral easily into Ibanking either prior to MBA (maybe best shot with Big 4 positions), but will be fairly simple to go into banking post-top-MBA.

Double post.

thanks...anyone else ? Does PWC and EY have similar travel to Deloitte ?

Ok thank you....whats travel life like compared for S&O then PWC or EY ?

avoid Accenture at all costs, can't comment on the rest, but ACN = tech implementation = low value work + working with stupid people, most of who are butt ugly anyway!

well i def dont want to work with ugos..thanks...anyone on travel for PWC and EY vs. S&O

Heard Deloitte in NY (headquarter) is not travel heavy at all, so it pretty much depends on which office you are based in

EY and PWC advisory, at least when I interviewed for similar roles at EY, doesn't seem like it's on-site work, so I don't know if they'd have much travel. Maybe someone more familiar with these roles can comment.

In general, you can expect a 4 day a week travel schedule with Deloitte. (mon thru thurs on-site, friday work from home or home office).

Take the Deloitte offer, unless you're an econ nerd.

thanks....anyone have any insight into Deloitte Boston ? That seems like the office I will most likely be out of...or NYC

Anyone know Deloitte Boston travel ? Also would it work a consideration for EY FSO since you work directly with PE/Hedge and BB ?

Unfortunately I'm at eyo day in mclean bc I got to u of maryland.

Plus how flexible is deloitte with travel ? I no I will have to but I would like to be in Boston as much as possible at least at first when I move to the new city

Should PWC financial advisory be considered ? I know they are growing and there is room for growth ...anyone know about top tier mba placement ?

...you'll travel when your boss says you travel...you have zero leverage as a new employee. When I talked with PWC awhile back, they didn't seem as supportive of MBAs as other places. Go with Deloitte.

Deloitte, followed by Accenture and PwC. This all depends on the team/department you'll be joining.

Accenture always gets clumped into tech, but I previously had an offer from an ex-McKinsey partner to join their new and rapidly growing M&A team in London. They had carried out quite a bit of interesting work at the time and the experience and skill sets gained would have been easily transferrable to work at a PE house.

For ibanking I'm generally a stronger advocate of joining Big 4 TAS rather than strategy. Doing due diligence, valuations or corp finance is a lot more relevant than any strategy work.

Also keep in mind that the Big 4 is more like the Big 2 now. PwC and Deloitte are much more respected these days than EY and KPMG, and mostly end up with the better projects and clients.

Anyone know about EY FSO in terms of exit ops ? They do work with PE and ibank so network maybe ?
