Hi, I'm bouncing between staying in my current job (Biz Dev in large European energy) and switching to consulting as experienced hire. The reason I applied for consulting was to leave to a more exiting place, as I felt a bit misplaced in an old's man corporate (although the money is pretty decent). Having a decent but not exceptional GPA I only received offers from 2nd tier firms (energy area) and now need to decide if it is still worth to switch (considering the career ops and exit ops in 2nd tier)
Would appreciate some opinions on the following options:
a) I stay in my current job b) Switch to consulting and choose between: 1) innogy inhouse consulting, 2) Capgemini consulting 3) Monitor Deloitte 4) OC&C
Many thanks!
I don't know what geography you're in but in most regions, Monitor has quite a strong brand (almost Tier 1A after MBB but above the tier 2 firms) and would be considered head and shoulders above the others you mentioned. I would liken it to Booz before the sale to PwC. Like Booz in ME, if the Monitor office you're going to has maintained independence from the Deloitte S&O business, then you would get the chance to work on a lot of pure play blue sky strategy work. CapGem and OC&C are definitely lower tier and more ops/tech consulting.
It is in Germany. Monitor is under the umbrella of Deloitte S&O, hence I am not sure if the brand is that strong...
i understand - but try to find out how closely the specific office works with S&O. In USA and CN, Monitor is completely segregated from what i hear - they do cross selling for project work but if you are a Monitor employee you don't work on S&O projects or vice versa, your comp is on a different schedule, and your bonus pool is separate. in SE Asia, they are more into integration BC clients in the region are more price sensitive so you get staffed across both orgs and it's not a good look. Not sure how Germany is but worth finding out - the monitor brand still has some cachet and could be an interesting place to work.
Monitor isn't segregated anymore. It's just Deloitte S&O. Strategy projects work under Monitor, and if Deloitte S&O employees decide to focus on strategy they would work in the Monitor arm. Comp is same schedule, bonus pool is the same.
That doesn't sound to appealing... If there is no difference between Monitor Deloitte and Deloitte, I wouldn't see a leverage there. In Europe Deloitte is not really a big brand.
You are correct - Deloitte is definitely not #4 in Europe. I would put Roland Berger there.
Well, I failed in the RB interviews. So the question would be, is Capgemini or Monitor Deloitte an option worth to consider or should I stay in my current job?
Do you want to stay in Europe or move to NA? In NA Monitor Deloitte is a much stronger brand, in Europe Capgemini is.
