Both offer a good name, probably the same type of work. I'd say you can't go wrong with either. Good candidate for accepting based on the $$ maybe, or negotiating and seeing who will ante up more.
perfect, thanks! I have only got voicemails so far, haven't seen the official offer yet.
What service lines?
Neither really have specified. I should mention that I'm an undergraduate and entry level - do they ask you to specialize already?
Service Lines matter a lot :)
i apparently will have my pick at PWC..do you recommend any?
When did you hear from IBM?
Last week.
Why do you guys think PWC doesn't even show up on Vault's top 20 for technology consulting? Especially after the acquisition of Diamond?
Do you have the top 20 list by the way? I can't get access to it because I need a Vault "gold" membership.
I think PWC is in the same boat as EY in this one. An individual at EY told me they do the same thing as PWC in tech consulting which is strategy, transformation, and audit work, no actual implementation. They're both somewhat young in consulting because they sold off their consulting arms at the turn of the century and restarted them later. They have to go up established names who have the implementation such as Deloitte, IBM, Accenture etc.
Both are growing fast and I think soon they'll hit the top 20, I think it may be a good move to get in on them now, as long as you head in the strategy and transformation direction rather than risk. That's the more technology based. As said earlier, service lines matter a lot.
I do. If you want I could probably PM it to you :P.
I kind of thought the same thing. PWC overtook Deloitte overall for consulting in this years rankings. I was really hoping to get into IT strategy and stay away from implementation/risk. What service lines do you think are best for that?
I have an offer for PwC (technology consulting) too, and was told that a lot of PwC's growth over the past year has been because they are starting to do implementation. It seems as if PwC is the closest to catching up to Deloitte in terms of consulting services amongst the big 4, but compared to IBM and Accenture, they're not going to be close when it comes to implementation work. Deloitte apparently is more expensive for implementation and often will start a project but the client will have a different firm do the implementation work.
