It really depends less on the firm and more on the practice you’re in as well as background imo

I think jumping to FAANG is easier from Accenture that is more IT focused than KPMG.

like

If you want FAANG I’d see if you can target CMT on the west coast, with the regional model I think it’ll be your best bet to get on a project that works with a west coast based tech company and you can utilize the projects to hopefully have a client poach you.

I know tech companies all poach from each other so getting into one opens doors into the rest. Can’t speak for kpmg but Accenture’s very tech implementation focused so I was planning my exit almost right after I started

smart

SC, not relevant to the post, what if there’s no project in your region? Will you be on the bench even if there’s work in other region ?

Been at both, I think ACN is waaay better from an opportunity to learn/grow perspective - KPMG looks good on a resume but there are toxic groups/teams abounding there.

Thoughts about what to put excess savings into? I've maxed out my RRSP and TFSA, emergency fund is good, no debt (or mortgage), and I have $15k that's not invested. Not sure if I should put it into one of the robo-advisor options or keep buying ETFs or mutual funds or what?
