Strategy& Deals, LEK or Accenture?

Throwaway account here. Trying to prioritize between Strategy& Deals, LEK and Accenture. I'm of the camp that the PwC integration isn't a huge factor, but the Deals team is a new group and I'm not sure how they're viewed in relation to the rest of Strategy& and what potential exit opps might look like. It does sound like the growth strategy is strong, they've hired a bunch of former DD guys from Bain, LEK etc to get jump started. Looking to double in size soon, which is a plus. I've talked to a lot of MBB friends too who seem to think that Strategy& has retained it's prestige through the merger, but it would be good to hear a broader set of opinions.

The other roles would be more generalist.

Any thoughts?
