PwC Finance Transformation versus Accenture Strategy EVT

Hi,

I'm in a bit of a dilemma - hoping to hear your thoughts on this.

I have two offers right now, one in PwC Advisory in their Finance Transformation practice (shared service advisory, financial process improvement, etc.) and another in Accenture Strategy in their "Enterprise Value Targeting" division (which mainly does benchmarking and nothing else). This is what their description says on their site:

"Enterprise Value Targeting provides a multi-dimensional benchmarking capability to identify key opportunities and to inform strategic direction. It helps enable the CFO, CHRO, CIO and other senior leaders to gauge where the organization leads, lags or operates at par with other organizations by measuring, assessing and tracking opportunities to assist in driving value across the whole enterprise.

We offer benchmarking capabilities that cover:

Finance HR IT Procurement Supply chain / Operations."

I'm not sure what to choose - Accenture compensation is a little more than PwC. But I'm assuming that benchmarking won't have too many exit options and will pretty much be a dead-end? What do you think?

I'm currently in ERP consulting - this will let me break into management consulting and I want to do it right.

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. But no, comp isn't the only thing. I'm actually not sure which one would be better in terms of exit options and range of projects - because I'm on the tech side right now, I don't want to take the worse option.

These are my assumptions: PwC Finance Transformation -> mainly process consulting, doubtful exit options Accenture EVT - only benchmarking, no idea how it'll be and what it'll lead to
