Excuse my Naivety, but I’ve never heard of Cornerstone before. Deloitte has some of the best L&D opportunities that I’ve seen and if you take advantage of them they can really help you develop - especially as a new hire out of school.
If you got an offer from Deloitte Consulting vs. Deloitte your exit ops will be fantastic as well if you decide it’s not for you after a couple years. Congrats!
Management consulting gets to work on a much wider range of projects, while economic consultants tend to use more technical quant/econ skills and expertise. Cornerstone is one of the top players in economic consulting and places well into top MBA programs (although many end up going to get PhD’s). Deloitte also places well in top MBA’s, and you get a much wider variety of exit opportunities.
Just depends on what you want to do and what you want to get out of it.
Congrats on both of your offers!
Not to be a simp, but Deloitte will give you great exposure to a wide array of top clients and project work. I also appreciate its established promotion schedule (given your adequate performance). And as Deloitte 1 noted, they invest heavily in professional development and networking, so you can (somewhat) pivot easily within the firm until you find an area you like.
However, your decision should ultimately depend on what excites you the most / what will motivate you to get up every morning. The majority of people who go the mgmt consulting route do so because they enjoy the flexibility of touching different types of projects within a short period of time (compared to industry). Of course, the downside to this is that it can be a bit of a mixed bag sometimes (ie put on a terrible, long term project outside of your area of interest vs a well-managed project filled with the best people in the world and great work-life balance).
Unless you’re planning to go to grad school, I’d go Deloitte
If you don’t mind me asking, which offer did you take? I’m in a very similar situation and would appreciate any insight!
