Have a case interview with Accenture Strategy (high tech strategy / generalist) - how do these compare to an MBB or Google BizOps case? A bit stressed trying to find time to prepare.

Depends on region, but I felt it was easy applying out of undergrad (compared to what others told me MBB was). Did go through 8 interviews, but was given an offer. Left after ~4 years.

Did also receive offers from Monitor Deloitte and Strategy&. Did not apply to MBB (didn’t know they existed or what the whole consulting hierarchy was at the time)

Knew many people who went through it (all 10+ YOE) and spoke well of the firm. Many ended up in strong careers using Accenture as a base (IB, HF, MBB).

Accenture is also a truly global firm compared to Deloitte / PwC. (1) Strategy training is in different country (not sure if that’s relevant anymore tho). (2) On engagements you can tap into your global network to find the SME or fly them in to meet the client (3) global staffing opportunities.

They also sponsor your MBA if you go to a top school

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
