Hey all, I am trying to decide between two offers for Summer 2022, Deloitte Tax Consulting and GS Ayco PFM. I have some initial thoughts but I'd like to hear what you think: For Deloitte; Pros: In NYC (apart from being in the city, more networking ops, especially if I get a return offer) Better pay for FT (yes, I'll agree not a huge selling point at the beginning of career) Like the culture (really stood out to me among everyone I spoke, and I think fitting into the culture is what got me the offer above everything) Personally prefer consulting Cons: Tax Consulting is niche, can be hard to get

This is my take, and I've included some basic commentary about why I've listed certain firms in certain places. I'm definitely interested in hearing what people think, but before I give the list I offer two disclaimers: 1. This is what I think the landscape CURRENTLY looks like. 5 or 10 years ago I would've had some of these firms in very different places on the list (and excluded some of them entirely) 2. This is based on prestige for the US market. Things are of likely different in Europe or elsewhere Anyway here we go. Tier 1: 1. Mckinsey 2. BCG 3. Bain This is simply indisputable Tier

I've been lucky enough to land two consulting internships (after junior year of college) - one from Deloitte, and another from Strategy& (PwC). I'm wondering which one I should take. Here's what I'm thinking so far, where a "*" indicates that these are the most important factors I'm taking into consideration: Just to emphasize, name-brand is really important to me, as is the possibility of transitioning into MBB for the following summer - Deloitte (currently leaning towards this choice): *please correct me if I'm wrong, but the name brand here is better I think (at least according to Vault)

Hello, just wanted to share that I have not heard from a T2 firm after my Final Round. Had 2 interviews with partners and then was asked to do a third one with the most senior partner in the office; thought I did ok and senior partner, although in a very formal tone, said that I should be hearing from them shortyl and that I should "wait for next steps". It's been more than one week from the interviews and have not heard anything, I contacted the HR person a few days ago and was told that "no confirmation has been made, I will keep keep pressing and inform you". No idea what this all means

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the site; found it while researching some questions related to B-School admissions and really enjoyed some of the content. Anyhow, I saw plenty of users looking for more info on management consulting and thought I'd make myself available. I spent two years in Deloitte's S&O practice in DC working with Federal clients (mostly in the health care space). I then did some time at Booz Allen Hamilton, where I largely supported DoD clients but dabbled in some commercial work as well. I'm happy to answer any questions: breaking into consulting, federal vs. commercial

If you had to choose between the following two offers which one would you choose and why? Alvarez & Marsal Valuation Services - Sr. Assoc. - 20-25% year end bonus based off hours billed. EY TAS - Valuation & Business Modeling - Senior - 10% year end bonus, however EY is offering 10k more on the base salary A&M work is primarily focused on Alt. Investment Portfolio Valuations (HF, PE, Credit, Distressed) for quarterly and annual reporting purposes. There is some work regarding valuations of Complex Securities too. A&M is also viewed as more of a finance shop. While valuation is not the main

I'm currently an undergrad at a target school(non-ivy) for top tier consulting firms(MBB, Deloitte, etc. whoever else you want to say). I had two final round interviews for MBB for the internship this summer, but did not get them. I did however get offers from all Big 4 I applied for and decided to go with S&O. I was encouraged to re-recruit by my contacts and recruiters for next year at MBB, but I was curious what other peoples' thoughts were. My main question is I understand the prestige is better, but is the salary and potential future exit ops so much better that I'd be dumb not to re

Hi Everyone, posting on a throwaway account (as I routinely post in the consulting forum with my regular account and quite a few people know my identity). That being said, I want to reveal a few details about myself and seek out advice on how to position myself for a career in PE. A little bit about myself: 1. Currently a high-performing Technology Consultant for Deloitte 2. 3 Years out of Undergrad (Bachelors was in Business Administration) 3. Undergraduate school was non-target (average state school) with virtually no alumni presence in Wall Street. Extensively cross checked Linkedin, no one

22 Mar 2017

I got an offer from EY advisory but I'm considering passing it up in order to interview at Deloitte. I would be taking up a Supply Chain Management Consulting position at both companies. I'm mainly considering this for two reasons: 1) Deloitte generally has a bigger brand name (at least in Canada), so the exit opportunities are better 2) I hate living in Toronto, Canada (lol) so I'm looking for international opportunities desperately. I want my consulting opportunity to lead me somewhere new, and Deloitte seems to be a more international firm. This is specially true since they're merging their

I have to decide between big 4s for management consulting. I have offers(associate) from 2 big 4s and soon i'll ace the other 2 too but i still cant decide which one to join. I value work culture and entrepreneurship. Also, im aiming for a top 10 mba in future. I've heard deloitte and pwc are better. Views?

Hello friends, I'm currently a tech consultant at Deloitte, and been with the firm almost a year now. I currently work on big data and machine learning engagements in TMT due to my background, and I quickly discovered that I'm very interested in M&A due diligence in TMT. It is challenging to get on a project like that within my firm, and I have been in the midst of getting together my own small engagement just to get the exposure. I planned on applying for MBA programs next year and switching to IB to get this exposure, but recently, a recruiter from LEK reached out and said they were

Hi Monkeys, I'm a rising undergrad senior at a semi-target (3.7 GPA, 2310 SAT, 35 ACT) who's interning at a T2 (LEK, Deloitte S&O, Strategy&, OW), and am looking to re-recruit at MBB this fall. I've never applied to MBB, but now I'm looking to go there full time - what should I be doing between now and the time I submit my applications? Should I reach out to recruiters, ask for informational interviews, etc.? What things should I be aware of, and what sorts of questions should I be prepared for going in? Also, I probably won't have time to prep for cases until my internship ends (August) -

In the coming weeks, I will be leaving Deloitte S&O after just under 2 years on the job, to join the corporate strategy group at a retailer. Since this forum was very helpful to me as I was seeking jobs in consulting, I thought I would give back by candidly answering questions about consulting and/or my experience at Deloitte. Will try my best to answer any and all questions, but will not provide any information that will give away my office location. My background: US News Top 15 University, Econ Major, 3.9+ GPA, did an internship at a boutique consulting firm before joining Deloitte Exit Opp

08 Mar 2014

Hey all - have heard that Deloitte S&O's perception and brand has been diluted with the reorganization into offering portfolios. Does it now fall behind other "Tier 2" firms like OW, S&, AT Kearney, LEK, etc. in terms of exit opportunities / general perception?

Hey Everyone, I am a former Air Traffic Controller and Air Force veteran who will be graduating from the University of Southern California in 2021 with a dual degree, BS in Business Administration and MSc in Industrial and Systems Engineering. I currently have offers from both Deloitte in their Risk and Financial Advisory [internal audit] division (in LA office) and another offer from ZS Associates as a Business Operations Consultant (in NYC office). I am really struggling with what I should do here as Pharma/Life Sciences doesn't seem too interesting to me, but I haven't worked in the

Dear all, I've had two offerings for my first position, had an internship in a mid-market CF boutique and a mid-market PE firm in the Netherlands. I've graduated for two majors, one in Business law and one in Financial management. My ambition is to work in PE in 5 years from now. My technical skills from my commercial skills, feedback that I have been given was: or further develop your commercial strength's, or strengthen your weakness by having a 2-3 year "technical drilling session" at an investment bank. Second choice would be harder, but could transform me in a much better professional

Hey guys, I have offers for Accenture MCDP program, Deloitte BTA, and im having a hard time deciding between the two. The CDP program consists of MC and Digital Consulting and Deloitte BTA is tech specific but im going to try to see if I can get into Deloitte Digital. Im particularly interested in Digital because my goal is to become a PM at a tech company or go get an MBA. Which one do you think is better for my goals? Deloitte pays more and staffs nationally and Accenture is local staffing but It seems to me as if their digital is growing faster. What do you guys see in the industry in terms

I got the offer with my transcript that looked good without the last semester when the hiring was conducted. But I am having a huge trouble with one 1-credit technical class and it's not required so it won't affect graduation. I think I am gonna fail that one as the duration of the course is only 1/3 of the semester and I can barely save it with only days remaining. The firm only mentioned they wanted a GPA higher than 3.5 (I will try to make it as the F is just 1 credit). Will they take back my offer and should I start looking for other jobs?

Hello, I've been offered a position at PwC for Technology Risk Consulting (comes under their Risk Assurance Business) and a position at Deloitte for Digital Strategy (comes under Deloitte Digital). In terms of growth opportunities, which of the two would be better if the end goal is to switch to MBB or a Tech firm like Google? Things I'm considering: 1. In terms of overall prestige, I'd say PwC has the best global reputation among the Big Four. Not that Deloitte would hold me back in any way. +1 PwC 2. The positions offered are different, but I'm interested in them both. I would think that it

Undergrad student at a top target university. I received two FT offers: Deloitte S&O and ZS Associates. Looking for more insight on the true realities of: 1) Travel at Deloitte - I'm not looking to travel so often - is there a way of getting around 80%+ travel at Deloitte? 2) Staffing at Deloitte - People have told me that staffing is a difficult and nerve-wrecking networking nightmare at Deloitte- yet my friends there vehemently deny this rumor. 3) I'm also looking for any insight on major differences in exit options/MBA/prestige for each offer. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am currently a freshman at a T20 Semi-Target and am considering what I should do during my freshman summer. By the end of the year, I'll have accounting, Excel, managerial economics, and Java experience. Eventually, I want to end up in IB so I'm trying to look for any relevant experiences that might help me. Something I came across is the "Deloitte Pioneer Internship" (linked below) for first years and I was wondering if this, in any way, would help me build my resume and if not, what kinds of firms/opportunities should I be seeking out for the summer following my freshman year

Hi there, I'm new and I've got questions. Background: I went to a great west coast school, studied economics, had a moderate academic performance (good for my major, but not top percentage by any means) and have an outstanding resume (30% school brand, 20% academics decent enough, and 50% networking) - and have two years of financial analytics in real estate and I've progressed quickly. I'm starting to look in to what's next and I'm leaning towards consulting. Can someone break down Deloitte s&o for me? Do the Strategy & Analytic positions on their website fall under this category? Or is that

Currently an undergrad considering offers at Deloitte S&O and A.T. Kearney. Anyone have any insight into either? There are a few major factors I'm considering: 1) Location - Deloitte is in Pittsburgh which is a major negative while A.T. Kearney is in NYC. 2) Projects - I've heard that A.T. Kearney has a reputation as more of a supply chain company, I'm a little bit concerned about being stuck on supply chain/procurement projects. Employees there say that I should have no problem getting on a variety of projects. 3) Exit opps - The two have comparable exits to top MBA schools, but what about to

Spoken with a few consultants from Monitor/Strategy & Business Design @ Deloitte and heard many are unhappy with their firm and culture and pay now. Is this because Deloitte is pushing Monitor folks to integrate within Deloitte Consulting? Also curious to why Monitor Deloitte pays the same as regular Deloitte Consulting in Canada now (65k base). Seems really low compared to other strategy shops and even some of the other Big 4 consulting arms here.

Curious for people's thoughts on an impending decision... Deloitte (BTA) vs EY (TAP-FSO). I like both firms a lot. I have come to know the Deloitte people more and we have gotten along really well. But here is the X-Factor: The Deloitte office is in a kinda nowhere city in the northeast. The EY office is NYC. Were locations equal I think I would choose Deloitte but how do I weigh the office location into the decision? Any additional insight into either role is great too or even just either firm at large. Thanks!

Hello everybody, I have an upcoming interview with PwC's corporate finance division. First round is a video interview of two rounds, one behavioral and one case study. The second interview, if the first round goes well, will be in-person, presumably some combination of behavioral, technical, & case studies. Has anybody gone through recruiting for PwC's corporate finance division before? Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey everyone, What are some of the exit opportunities from Big 4 Advisory, particularly, at Deloitte. I recently graduated from a top school and am currently working in Deloitte's Advisory group. I would like to either try and get into S&O, or move into a corporate strategy role in a couple of years. I know this site really hates on Big 4 but I would like to know what kinds of exit ops are available from Deloitte's Advisory. I don't want to do any internal Audit/controls testing type work. To simplify: 1. Is it possible to go from Deloitte Advisory to corporate strategy? 2. How difficult is it

Hello all, I am a senior at a public business school. I would say it is one of the strongest undergraduate targets in the Midwest. Recently, I was offered two positions: one with Deloitte as a Business Risk Consultant and the other at Accenture in their Strategy practice. So I am very conflicted on what position to take. If I take the Business Risk role at Deloitte is there any way I could move to S&O? Also how do the exit options compare for both positions? To be honest, I am worried that the role at Deloitte is not "pure strategy consulting" and is much more invested in their advisory and

Apologies if this question seems a bit naive but wanted to get this forum's opinion on educating oneself on certain topics in order to hold better conversations with longer tenure colleagues. As a 22-year-old analyst I'm not super interested in or knowledgeable about luxury cars, cigars, watches, fine liquors, golf etc the list goes on. Have people faced this issue before? If so what did you do to address it, e.g. should I start stalking watch and car forums? I definitely don't mean to indicate that people in consulting firms only care about those things-most people are actually pretty down to

I've been hearing of these M&A groups (not transaction services, but DCF as in post McColl Partners acquisition) at consulting places like Deloitte.

Hi guys, I have a final round interview for Deloitte Consulting's Human Capital practice, under compensation tomorrow. However, AT Kearney just asked me to be an alternate interviewee for tomorrow's first round. Is there anyway I can contact Deloitte and have them push/reschedule my interview in any way? I would just need to leave an hour earlier to make it. As context, I also already have offers from Accenture Strategy and ZS Associates. What do I do? Thank you!

22 Oct 2015

Hello everyone! Thank you all so much for the thoughtful responses that have come out of these threads - I have another question for the group that I was hoping I could receive some help with. I am thinking of accepting an offer with Deloitte S&O, but I know I don't want to do consulting for the long-run. Rather, I am interesting in (1) the skills consulting develops, (2) the exposure to a variety of industries and companies, (3) the quality of experience/projects and (4) the exit opportunities (industry and/or bschool). I know Deloitte is really strong on skills, exposure and to some extent exit opportunities, but MBB would be especially stronger on the quality of experience and the exit opportunities.

Hi folks, WSO has been a great source of advice throughout my job search - and I finally have options that I could really use your help to decide between! I'm a senior at a top 3 university, currently trying to figure out what to do for full time. I really wanted to work for MBB but didn't get an offer after interviews. I currently have offers for IBM consulting (interned last summer), Google sales, and Deloitte consulting S&O. I'm also interviewing for the Capital One business analyst program and a position with Royal Caribbean on the revenue management side. A consideration of mine would be to potentially work at MBB in the future, or work in retail/consumer goods, although I'm not sure yet what I want to do.

Just wanted to know if any liberal arts majors have been able to break through into investment banking and other finance positions without an MBA or Business-related degree/credential? I really want to break through on the client services side of finance, but earning a degree in Political Science has really made that difficult. I have had interest from H&R Block for database and bookkeeping roles, but I really want to land at a Deloitte or Morgan Stanley or even Goldman(though that's the furthest away from home of my options.) Any advice?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had done the Deloitte Consulting internship hirevue questions already? It's for a fall 2019 analyst position. However, it does not specify for what service line (ST&A or Cyber security). I do have a strong hunch that its for the BTA (Business Technology Analyst) consulting position. Never heard that Deloitte did HireVues, so this is a first for me. They also stated that it will be 10 questions which should take about an hour of my time. If you ever need, I have the questions for the Morgan Stanley 2020 SA. Thanks!

I'm slightly confused on the title of the job. I did a search and the titles seemed to have changed from AERS and FAS so I was trying to figure out if this is a good opportunity to open doors in the future or a position I should pass on.

M.D just had an info session at my school today, and they all seemed pretty cool. Now, I know that M.D is more prestigious than general S/O and that the pay is higher etc... But if I start my career in S/O: public sector (which I am passionate about) would that prevent me from ever switching over to corporate strat if I wanted to? Deloitte Strategy and Operations Exit opportunities for Deloitte's strategy and operations are generally lower than say MBB. It is possible to make a transfer within Deloitte. However, it will be difficult as most analysts start where they want to end up. Generally

Hello All, I am currently networking at Deloitte and I have received and scheduled a phone interview. The recruiter recommended me to a recruiter at Deloitte Digital. Outside of the website and few details from other sites and the recruiter, I am trying to figure out where this division sits with other similar divisions and companies? I believe this was at least partially an acquisition of Eclipse. I understand it has a more laid back office culture that reflects the creative digital industries they focus on, but is the work different vs regular technology and operations consulting?

If you think you would eventually want to go into banking full time, which summer analyst offer would you take? 1. Jefferies - Sales & Trading - Equity Strategy (New York) 2. Deloitte - Business Technology Analyst (Phildelphia) My little buddy (who unfortunately did not make it through the process at my bank) is at a crossroads. He's a super candidate for any job, but just needs some experience before crushing the IBD interviews next winter. My gut reaction was Jefferies without a doubt, but then it turns out he knows some of the current Business technology analysts at deloitte and would probably enjoy it more. Any thoughts about Jefferies S&T? any thoughts about deloitte --> banking?

Networked with Deloitte Financial Advisory in Canada and noticed that they were hiring for this group (sub-division of restructuring). Has anyone interviewed/worked with this group? If so, what are the interviews and recruiting process like? It doesn't seem like typical M&A/Valuation service line hires (less finance-ey). Would the interviews be more case based than finance technical?

Howdy all, So this topic kind of has been talked about before, but my situation is still somewhat unique so I thought that I would post a topic. So I am a rising senior at a top Undergraduate B-school (that MBB actively recruits from) and I have an offer (with exploding incentives before recruitment) from Deloitte Consulting. I really enjoyed my time there and could see myself there, but I wanted to kind of get some advice seeing as no one has been able to answer my question. Basically I want to figure out if I should go through recruitment this year. What I will lose is some incentives and I will miss out on a lot of opportunities to continue to connect to Deloitte and kind of be the class champion. My mindset with regard to the firms are:

PWC offer was about $27/hr and starting salary was low 60's. I really just didn't like the environment or people at PWC.

Hi Everyone, I currently have offers from LEK and Deloitte S&O for summer internships, and I'm having an incredibly tough time choosing between the two. I know that the lifestyles for the two are almost polar opposite (Deloitte mostly travel, LEK mostly in office), and that LEK is a lot more strategy focused. To be honest, I don't even know if consulting is for me, I just want a valuable summer experience, and if all goes well either sign full time with the firm I choose or try MBB recruiting. Any advice on what would be good for both the short and long term?

Hey everyone! I just recently received job offers from Deloitte Consulting for their Project Analyst Position, GE Capital for their Investment Analyst Program, and the National Futures Association for the staff auditor position. I am a bit conflicted on which one would be the best choice. Many people have said Deloitte is a great place to work with good benefits and opportunity for growth within the company, but that they don't enjoy the hours. Then I've heard working with GE also has many opportunities and is a good company to work for in terms of the network and so on so forth.
