How do you go about assessing/differentiating culture in your organization? From a Big 4 perspective, I don’t see them all as that different. I just go to work at D like I would if I were at PwC or anywhere else. I’ve met great people here and not so great... like I would anywhere. What am I missing?

Not missing much. I recruited at all. From my experience and will reiterate, just my experience, folks at Deloitte are a little bit more “we are changing the world”/buzz wordy. They may have a stronger traditional strategy and consulting practice which leads to this but they also feel superior to the other big 4 and inferior to MBB+boutiques etc so have a weird chip on their shoulder. I’d rather have a beer with someone from EY or KPMG (generalization I know).

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?
