I’m in PwC’s M&A group (DDV). I like PwC a lot - great culture, good people, lots of perks. The M&A work is long hours, high-speed, and involves a lot of client interaction. Happy to answer specific questions below.

Pwc5 - I figured you weren’t from NYC or Chicago.

i’m at pwc ddv, i have an mba so the pay isn’t horrible, but still behind market. expect your job to be 80% pmo, with long hours and same pay as the rest of management consulting. in terms of the spot bonuses, not sure what that person is talking about. I received a retention bonus because i had an offer in hand.

This sounds right.

Having worked at both, Accenture by a mile

Second ACN1 - if you are going to be an IT professional - which is how I interpret M&A IT - you are much better off going to ACN. You’ll be treated as a second class citizen at DDV.

I have been at PwC DDV - Run and take Accenture. When it comes to IT, DDV is far behind, although catching up but Accenture is the winner here. PwC hates going to market with their IT folks. ACN not so much.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?
