Acn is more chill but promotions can take forever and I feel like the people are less motivated.... in comparison to D - the people are way more motivated which in turn keeps you on your toes always and there are clear timelines for promotions with the up or out model. I truly missed ACN and the people when I left but looking back at a year at D I feel like I've worked harder and pushed more than ever before.

like

Oh also bonuses @ D >>> ACN which is so nice at the end of the year. ACN bonuses and raises are awe-fully low and discouraging even for high performers.

Worked at PwC, then D, and now ACN. Agree with D1 that ACN is more chill, but that's exactly what I needed. The pros of consulting (variety of projects, etc) without the cutthroat lifestyle.

like

D1, that kind of evens out though by just having a higher base in general. I believe ACN pays the most out of big 4/ACN.

like

ACN with AT Kearney a close 2nd. PwC was a shit show. Would never recommend it to anyone.

like

D3 is right - base and bonus is much higher at D. I don't know about campus hires. This is mostly in regard to experienced hires in my case.

Deloitte 100x over Accenture.... the posts here are incredibly douchey by Deloitte and hateful about deloitte (with much of it founded) but I've had a great personal experience and group of people

PwC > KPMG

No love for EY? 😒

A1 no way at least for the strategy group, cost structure and margin is way higher here, much higher base comp and annual bonus level for level

D3, from what I understood, ACN is much higher at the entry-level ranks because D doesn't adjust for COL with analysts. But as one climbs, D is sufficiently greater.

Yes they do pay out high for campus recruits to attract talent. Had some business analysts making 3x my first job out of college !

A2 What didn't you like about PwC? Was thinking of switching once I hit manager

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

*Sealed Classes in Java 17*

The sealed class allows one to describe which class or interface can extend or implement this class or interface. In short, we can put restrictions on who can use this class or interface. Suppose we have Student abstract class and if we make it a sealed class and permit only ScienceStudent and CommerceStudent to extend the class, then only those classes will be able to extend the Student and other classes will get an error if they try to extend it.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
