About the same but they all think they are the best.
Hope you’re a partner D1, for your career sake.
I may detest my firm at times but I work on cool stuff, get paid really well, work maybe 40-50 max, and work remotely from home with occasional travel. Oh yeah and firm posted it’s highest revenue ever. Maybe it’s not the ivory tower but it fits my life-long middle class ass just fine.

Also: you need to define winner. Deloitte is probably the largest overall and pays the most on average. EY has a better culture. PwC uses Google office. And KPMG is…well they try.
I’d say top performers (tier 1) definitely earn the best pay. On average perhaps deloitte wins a bit.
And my google office goes away this weekend thank you 😕😕

Real time look at Accenture Analysts whenever ACN is mentioned alongside the Big4

I want to thank all of you B4 adjacent peeps for pushing me over the 5 digit mark.
Performance. Delivered.
They dont call us Daddy D for nothing so clearly theres a winner here *smirks with toothpick in teeth while wearing brown leather shoes on black pants and patagonia vest over plaid button up while swiveling Away luggage*

As someone who worked at ACN/Deloitte and PwC. I’d say none of them are winners.

Yeah I was supposed to interview for ACN Strat later this year but I’m just gonna bunker down till the economy gets a bit better.
As someone working at KPMG I’m here just to see how creative you guys can roast us but gotta say kinda disappointed u guys need to step up your game
While I’m not at a B4, I will say that you are the B4’s Ottoman Empire, aka the sick man of the B4

Asking about big 4 and talking about Accenture 😂
Accenture to rejoin the big4? Oh boy here we go again
Clearly shows D3 has no idea what Accenture does vs big 4
I think the objective rating is that Accenture is better than the big 4 when you ignore S& and EYP.
With them it’s like
EYP > S& >>>> ACN >>> EY/Deloitte >> PWC >>>>>>>>> KPMG
In what regard?

Pick your poison
Just make sure you find the right crew within
KPMG has a great culture and is often regarded as the best when it comes to WLB. Deloitte is more stuffy, but pay tends more on the high end. Accenture is good if you’re seeking great exit opportunities in tech.
Kpmg smartest here…
The real difference will be by team. Working in change, people and culture you are likely far more supported than other parts of the firm. I’ve worked at Deloitte, EY, a few tier 3(?) types, some contracting and the Army. There’s also some chat about salary, I know for a fact the bands run higher at EY V Deloitte but again, that only matters if you’re pushing top of a band and then, maybe if you’re over the top you have just justification for the next grade up?
My view is:
Deloitte - solid, arguably top spot, highly professional. A bit bland though.
EY - Bring a bit more fun, imagination, culture and better work/life balance.
PwC - prestigious,don’t really care about others, do what they do well and are happy.
KPMG - clearly struggling to keep up with the Big4 as a firm but probably doing some more interesting stuff to shake up culture.
The question of who is the best will depend on your own goals. Best work life balance, culture, just cash, what?
You’ll probably find it also varies by team and moment. A hop often brings a pay rise and a chance to reset expectations.

Thanks EY 5!
Ussss wooo hooooo
Nerdy guy in the back vibes
PwC likely has the best culture of the group
How come MBB don't have petty talks like ours on who's the best? 😂
Because we all know it is Mckinsey....
Lol they should just call us the Big 5 again 😎 if McK can get away with all their sh** who even remembers Enron..
don’t be jellly
I’m going to say Deloitte would be clear winner depending on what space/market you’re talking about.
Bc I was trying to be modest by saying depends what offering/market you’re really talking about. But if you want to go down that path Deloitte dominates most of the marketplaces there are to cover. So there ya go 😏
If there was a "clear" winner, you wouldn't have to ask, just saying
Did someone say clear winner *pops collar and smirks while pointing at self with both thumbs*
