Applying to PwC’s entry level consulting positions...

How does PwC’s “Management Consulting Associate” compare to Strategy&?

Will I hurt my chances of getting an interview if I apply to both?

Higher level corporate strategy work at Strategy &. But it's also true that most of their projects are Commercial Due Diligence.

Basically it depends on the projects you want to do and build your skill set around as well.

If I personally was given a choice between pureplay management/strategy consulting at S& and PwC - I'd go with S&

But then there's so many categories within management consulting (for ex. Something more tech-related) - in that case PwC might be a better option.

Strategy& is viewed as more elite and is compensated better. Meant to compete with other strategy firms

Hi I was interviewed by Capgemini in December 2021 and surprisingly they called in February 2022 for second round.

Did it happened with anybody else?
