Accenture vs PWC? Pros and cons of each? Noticing that one of the companies is paying a lot more at the M level - worth the switch?

If you have options, don’t stay at Accenture and I say this as your fellow Accenture employee.

From my peers and friends PwC has a lot better culture. If you want a more tech focused experience probably Accenture. But Accenture is slowly turning into a staff Aug (contractor) so not as much “true” consulting work as the past.

What are staff Aug roles? In any case, the consultant is a contractor in any consulting project

I think all the consulting firms are relatively the same. Certain groups burn harder than others, some projects are great and others are challenging. There are some actual differences like ACN being a public company and PWC being a partnership. There are also some different rules around independence with PWC.

Benefits may differ slightly but for the most part they all net out about the same.

All of these companies (MBB, Big4, Tier 2) require a strong work ethic and the ability think/learn quickly in order to succeed

PwC. Not even close.

I might be biased but PwC. Even though I’d never work there again (at least not as a consultant) I think it’s the better of the two. But also just follow the bigger pay bc while I still prefer PwC slightly in the industry they aren’t too different.

If you want to focus on IT, Accenture is likely a better option. Anything else, I'd go with PwC.
