Hi there,

I would agree that it does depends both on region and the area of work you're looking at.

If I were you, I would go with the role that genuinely excites you the most - you already have the Accenture brand on your resume, so it's not a huge deal if Deloitte is slightly worse but you rise up faster.

One other flag: Be careful with promises of fast progression/promotion - it's easy for companies and recruiters to promise this, then delay when it really comes down to it!

Having worked for both companies, I can say Accenture beats BIG4 hands down in most areas (Strategy, Consulting, Technology) in most geographies & specially in UK & Europe. It even beats MBB & other tier 2 players in some areas. Deloitte is at par in the US market. Rankings & reputation vary by country & sector obviously. Some links for your to check out:

Hello!

As you say, seems as a rather lateral move.

At this point, I think it´s gut feeling regarding:

• Location: which one is more convenient both now and for future moves
• Fit with the company
• Bonds wth the people

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi, I can confirm the big difference is only when you consider Monitor Deloitte (here you have a real strategy firm). Otherwise, the comparison strictly depends on the geography

Hey there,

I agree with your initial analysis - no real difference, instead I'd personally rank Accenture Strategy higher than Deloitte. If you are talking about Monitor Deloitte however, e.g. in Switzerland, you'd have a different case that would favor the latter.

Let me know if you want to dig deeper.

Best
