Deloitte Pros: I get messages from lazy recruiters looking for accountants even though I don’t know how to account

BCG Pros: All of the other pros

Being serious, this is only focused on exit opps. I’d say there are actually a few non-exit pros for working at Deloitte over BCG, but you posted this in the Exits bowl.

Pros for D:
- longer engagements allowing for more balance in life
- much easier to recover from a mistake
- less stress on up or out
- lots of mediocre people making it easier to shine with leas effort
- a lot lower expectations at A/C level

Pros for BCG:
- much better brand recognition and exit options
- exposure to truly impactful engagements and clients
- faster promotion cycles
- better pay and benefits

I echo the above. I moved from Deloitte to BCG and it's basically as above.
Not to say Deloitte is mediocre by universal standards - people at deloitte are in the top x% of capability and ambition but at BCG, top 0.0x%, of you catch my drift.
Also second that it's a risk-reward trade off - up or out is real so while the above benefits are real, pressure is high and tenures on average are short, so it's not for everyone. Deloitte is a fantastic work-life balance with above average reward, which is a sweet spot for many people
