Not true. I know McKinsey has poached A TON of Accenture people the last 2-3yrs. I know at least 15-20 former ACN colleagues who are now at McKinsey and many more I don't personally know.

Might as well fan the flame. A2 - Deloitte blows Accenture out of the water. Your staffing model is wack and your talent is dwindling

A2 - lol here it goes again with the dick measuring contest

It's literally never happened. Not once.

Seriously- what is with Deloitte folks always putting other people down? You do realize that like most industries, consulting too is incestuous. People jump firms all the time and there's a lot of Deloitte folks at Accenture, PwC, EY, Slalom etc... you're just insulting your own.
