Advice: I have an offer with Deloitte Advisory and Accenture CDP but I’m not sure what to do. The Deloitte Advisory pays almost $7 more per hour but I think end career goal is consulting. Thoughts?

You’re still early in your career and you can always switch to consulting. $7/hour is over $14K/year and that’s a lot. I’d go with Deloitte

Accenture CDP full time pays more than Deloitte. I’d take the internship there as it’s likely to lead to a full time offer, you’ll make your money FT not as an intern

Interested in this perspective,what does CDP pay these days? Last year it was less than most analysts @ D.

Deloitte advisory is not consulting. I've actually never met somebody in D advisory / risk advisory generally that wasn't fairly desperately trying to get out of it

ACN 100%

$7/hr is nothing compared to your lifetime earnings in this field. Go with the one that feels like a better fit, both are great places to start your career.

Lol $7 extra per hour. You can make more working at Popeyes. Bro just pick the one that you’re more interested in, $7 per hour is nothing

$14.5k is nothing to roll your eyes at

LOL @ S&1. The strategy& folks on this app seem to be very very insecure. Any chance, they bash Deloitte. It’s very childish. It probably comes from some form of net worth envy, three of these guys were fighting with a Deloitte person over average income on another thread and it was embarrassing for everyone. Seems Iike the PwC culture has either slipped or the Strategy& folks have a toxic little island of negativity.

OP;

The question here is is the work what you want to do? The combination of passion and opportunity will in the long term be what drives your success and income. In both cases you are doing advisory work, advising clients. There are some big differences between the two though:

Accenture is a public company. You will always be an employee there, though you may be a high;y compensated one. The culture is more structured and corporate. You can be a 1%er at Accenture, but few folks are. Long term opportunity for wealth creation is greater at Deloitte and folks who start as an analyst tend to rise to the highest levels and make partner younger if they stay.

With Deloitte you work for a private partnership. There is more investment in developing staff and training there, for all of the lauding of CDP it is more marketing than true development. At D you will need to navigate more networking and deal with less structure. This works well for some folks, less well for others. Deloitte tends to pay more than Accenture at all levels because their structure allows them to, and they genuinely value their staff. Long term partners do very very well, comp is higher but different to a company, more folks are in that 1% band.

You didn’t mention what discipline you will be working in. I would not at this stage get hung up on advisory vs consulting, no one knows how the businesses will be structured in 10 years. PwC just merged the two and who knows what Deloitte will do long term.

So if it were me and short term money is the most important thing, go with D, you can always move in a couple of years. If Accenture has a different area of focus that interests you more I would go there. If you are interested equally in both roles weigh up if you feel one is investing in you more than the other.

Both are fantastic places to start your career and great to have on your resume.

Avoid Strategy&, they seem a little negative.

Hi, I think you misunderstood my comment. Deloitte's consulting group is under Deloitte Consulting, whereas the offer in discussion is for Deloitte Advisory. They're very different organizations. Deloitte Advisory does audit-like work with audit-like pay

I would pick Deloitte Consulting over ACN CDP if I was offered an interesting group, but not Deloitte Advisory

On the culture note, I'll let you know that I love the culture of my group. We don't work weekends and I get to work reasonable hours

OP -ignore S&1. The idea that D Advisory pays audit rates is somewhat contradicted by your own data, they pay more than ACN
