Short answer: if you want to do strategy work, of any kind, go to MBB; in your case, BCG.

Long answer: Who do you think clients are going to go to for “tech strategy” work, majority of the time? Obviously, relationships, rates, and other factors matter here, but, I can say confidently that a client will NOT choose Accenture or Deloitte over BCG. As much as Accenture and Deloitte attempt to claim that they do “tech strategy”, the reality is that they do “strategic tech initiatives”, which is entirely different than “tech strategy”, in that “tech strategy” eventually tees up the “strategic tech initiatives”. At ACC or D, >7x/10 you will be a program manager for a tech-related initiative, which is NOT strategy. So, choose your own adventure.

Source: I work in “growth strategy” at one of the non-BCG firms you’re in question about.

Lol clients complain that we’re expensive and BCG is twice as expensive as we are. The days of only wanting a “strategy” are over, clients need implementation too and that’s where we shine. Hence MBB have been trying to expand into implementation themselves.

Just to make sure, BCG or Platinion? Core BCG doesn’t have tech strategy practice and we don’t hire specialist, Platinion does. If later, I’d say Accenture or Deloitte is better brand

I have an offer from Platinion and currently at Accenture. What are your thoughts on the work Platinion does and their overall practice quality?

Interested to hear the reasoning on this - @Accenture 2

BCG > ACN > Deloitte

Offer being in Tech Strat is accounted in my ranking.

BCG is number one because it’s simply, BCG. It is definitely a name to have on your resume that’ll open a lot of doors — especially if you are considering going to B-School/grad school. Accenture is always leading in the tech strat and implementation space, but doesn’t carry as much weight as BCG does.
