Could use some 🐠 advice here! Two outstanding offers:

- KPMG: Procurement Consulting Practice
- Accenture: Business Intelligence Practice

Both offers are comparable. What’s important to me: project variety, culture, growth, and wlb. I understand there are trade-offs, but which firm would be the best holistically. Any and all feedback is welcome!

Procurement is recession proof. People always need to save money. BUT, I would say BI is the future.

like

I would do BI because data and analytics is a forward looking and rapidly growing space, so exits and advancement should be easier. Procurement is not growing like that. And procurement is becoming less important over time in the USA as service and software become greater % of gdp, meaning less focus on lowering costs of physical procured goods, though that decrease is gradual enough to not matter for a 2-3 year consulting stint.

like

Procurement also oversees procurement of services, such as everything outsourced

like

Accenture is great, and BI is cooler than procurement

funny

Accenture is a better brand

like

Might be a bit late here but the people/ culture in KPMG Procurement’s practice are great. And, M1 - Procurement is becoming MORE important and strategic over time.

Appreciate the response. I really liked the culture and opportunity at KPMG based on my conversations with the team. Ended up taking the offer at Accenture. Definitely was a tough decision
