It’s like going to Georgetown. Solid school and no question you’re smart and people are impressed — but it’s not Princeton.

Honestly, there are so many of these kinds of questions.

Ultimately, when you’ve built experience in the MBB/B4 and even upper tier firms like OW, ACN, ZS, etc. the reality is only the purists will care and if someone does care, that’s their problem. To the rest of the population, any of these firms are marks of success, there’s no “bad” at this level. You’re really talking about running the 40 in 4.5 seconds, or 5 seconds; both are f’ing fast. Even Deloitte is an okay firm to list on a resume ;)

Worry less about “prestige” (something subjective, uncontrollable, and variable), and focus on building your network, the quality of your relationships, crushing your projects, and learning along the way... in whatever firm you make it into. Those factors will have much more impact on your exit opps.

Vanity is not a measure of success, and comparison is the thief of joy.

D1, it’s a bad analogy point blank. You saying you can’t run it is like someone saying they can’t read when comparing consulting firms... not applicable

S& is more prestigious than anything the other big4 have. People need to get off the BigD, ya'll are basically Accenture at this point. S& is Tier2 worthy. Regular PwC advisory is garbage ofc.

oh course a deloitte person would think that

Very prestigious for audit and tax

As prestigious as EY or Deloitte. Maybe a bit more than KPMG (at least for consulting), based on all the memes.

If you want an honest answer for Europe... it’s pretty much bang on the money here if you’re good as an individual - obviously MBB has a slightly better ring to it but that’s it. So what does it mean practically?

It’s good enough to get you in front of and win any client or exit into any job or get into any MBA programme... as long as you are good.
