KPMG vs PwC Internship
So I have internship offers from both of these firms in their IT Advisory divisions--IPBR for KPMG and just the general IT Advisory for PwC. I'm leaning towards PwC but pretty stuck on which one I want. They are both in the same city. Here are the pros I thought of for each:
KPMG:
- More money
- VERY communicative. I've gotten so many calls/emails from recruiters and people at the office since I got the offer
- Liked the people at the office
PwC:
- More 'prestigious' firm (I realize IT advisory is way below Management Consulting/MBB but the PwC name seems to overall rank higher KPMG)
- Seemed like they really wanted me (I got the offer literally a few hrs after my second set of interviews)
I haven't had a chance to meet people from the PwC office I got the offer for but I have met PwC people in general and I liked them. My ultimate goal would be to try for MBB full time next fall so with that in mind which of these two internships would look better on a resume or would be the better experience?
In which city are these offices?
They're smaller west coast offices
Among Big 4, PwC has a more friendly atmosphere. They are also investing in their management consulting division in these days. KPMG fell a little bit behind PwC-Deloitte-EY in consulting, so I would go for PwC.
Thanks. Do you have any recommendations for verticals within PwC?
I'd go MC and try Strategy consulting, it really depends on what you're looking for long term and what skills to currently have that will be best fit for a vertical.
PwC without a doubt.
not sure if it is too late, but i accepted a MC/SC position with KPMG. Accept PwC for now because as an intern, money does not mean anything. PwC has more prestige, check them out and if they aren't as friendly or what you want etc etc, then try full time with KPMG, they really focus on connecting and having fun, definitely the most laid back firm
