Help with the tough decision?
I have offers from both Ernst & Young's Business Advisory Practice (Financial Services Office) and Accenture's Management Consulting Development Program. My degree is in finance but I fit better into the consulting world and management consulting would be a great place to be.
Any thoughts on what might be the best place to start right out of school?
Accenture
Accenture. Accounting firms are brutal; you will be underpaid and overworked. Plus, being among a room full of accountants that think they can do anything will break your spirits after awhile. I say this from experience haha
good luck!
Lol, could you elaborate on that?
Accenture without a doubt. The only Big 4 consulting gig you should consider is Deloitte.
Agreed
Agreed, post-SOX Big 4 firms can no longer consult for the firms they do audit work for (a simplification of sorts, but true). E&Y is one of the best at audit work--thus their advisory practice isn't the best. Likewise how Deloitte S&O is great, their accounting side might not be as strong.
Accenture is more "real" consulting (although still not in the realm of pure strategy).
