Can some 🐠 from PwC, KPMG, and EY advisory help explain how your advisory sub-practices? Looking to move and would like to understand how the org is divided as well as any tips about good/bad teams?

PwC advisory is split into horizontals:
- Management Consulting
- Technology Consulting
- Risk Consulting (not risk assurance)
- Strategy&

Cybersecurity, Forensics, and Deals are considered industry verticals and are independent of the horizontals. Also, this is just advisory, Risk Assurance and Tax have similar roles to consulting, but fall under other lines of service.

Let me know if you want any other details OP

Our Advisory is split between Risk Consulting (It audit, forensics etc kind of stuff 😒), Management Consulting (Various diverse service lines), and strategy (more so business strat). IT strtagey is a combination of CIOA (within MC) and an IT strategy arm in Strategy

like

CIO - Advisory (CIOA)

like

Management Consulting
- Customer
- People and Organization
- Finance
- Operations
I think there may be more but I'm not sure on details. I know there's an MC analytics team and M&A and DDV fit somehow.

Tech Consulting
- Application Technology
- IT Function Transformation
- Data & Analytic Tech
- IT Infrastructure (Cloud)
- Program & Portfolio Mgmt
- Cloud Apps (Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, Workday)

As far as implementation vs strategy, it varies group to group and I really couldn't say. Do you have a specific industry you want to align to?

And idk about salary

like

OP, it gets quite detailed. Ok, here goes without detailed research (from memory) :

- CIO Advisory:
. IT Strategy
. IT Service Management
. Technology Business Management
. IT infrastructure, Cloud strategy
- People and Change (People Change Management)
- SSOA (Sourcing / Procurement)
- Deal Advisory (similar to CIOA's IT strategy offering group, they can be grey/blend with Strategy)
- State & Local

... I may be missing more... I think there are other industry specific groups.

K1: thanks for your help. I have a few follow-up questions if you don't mind. How much intermixing between teams are there? To what degree of technical skills do you usually see/need in CIO advisory?
Are these yeahs generally geographically split or are there certain hubs where most people are based?

This is a great thread. Thanks op for starting and all others for replies.

K1: how would you describe growth within CIOA? Is it a good practice to be in?

K1: Can you into more detail about the "diverse service lines? That's what I was getting at. please try and avoid shorthand.

P1: Can you explain further how MC & TC are split up? What falls beneath each service line? How much of TC is strat versus implementation?

Are salary bands uniform across MC across firms or do some make more? Exclude Strategy& & Parthenon.

P1: If this was reddit, I'd give you gold. So for starters thank you! Currently doing tech strategy for the public sector. Would like to move to most any other industry excluding healthcare or FS.

How common is mixing of associate/SAs across different practices?

P1: I would share if I had one. If you're ok with sharing what you know publicly, please go ahead. For starters why are you thinking of leaving pwc?

OP, send a burner and we can chat

K1 can you quickly describe what you do? What type of clients? What level you are?

P1, got it.

I've been with my boyfriend for about 2 years now. I only get to see him on the weekend because we have opposite working schedules during the week. But I've noticed his family asking him for help on stuff on the weekend and he tends to try to fit it in some way. This annoys me since he sees his family throughout the week but my only quality time is on the weekends. He also hasn't been doing anything to get him closer to his life goals because his family always asks him for his time and money....

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
