For Advisory, Accenture is among the cream of the crop. They don’t have an Accounting arm (we all know why) but they may be trying to partner with one of the Big 4 to provide those services.

Accenture doesn’t do accounting, Big 4 (except for Deloitte) focuses a lot on accounting although we do have advisory/consulting arms, but all Big 4’s are trying to shift away from accounting towards consulting since it is more lucrative by the hour.
Accenture is obviously better than Big 4 (except Deloitte) on the consulting side, especially technology/IT related consulting. I say except Deloitte because ~50% of Deloitte’s revenue comes from consulting, and it is in fact one of the best consulting agencies. However, Big 4’s strategy arms (Monitor, Strategy&, Parthenon) are better than Accenture’s strategy department.

One step up in my opinion. The tax/audit side of B4 is honestly what is dragging us behind.

How is it in terms of WLB?

Internal audit

I know two employees there. One got a DUI a couple years before getting hired and the other is very socially awkward. I feel like the vault ratings might even overstate them. Imo anyone who puts them above the big four is just wrong. They aren’t really a leader in anything.

The point is I know 2.0 GPA alcoholics that drive drunk then get hired by Accenture. I’m not saying it’s representative of the whole company, but if that’s the floor, that’s much lower than anything I’d expect the big four to accept.

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
