I have offers from PwC and KPMG in their Financial services consulting practice - asset and wealth management, capital markets. Offer to join as Director in both - pay is almost the same. Looking for suggestions regarding a) brand - does pwc have an advantage over kpmg in terms of brand recognition? B) type of work? - it is related to to the brand question in a way C) exit opportunities

PwC has a much better image than KPMG. KPMG is the smallest in revenue and employee size. Accenture is bigger than KPMG and it's not even B4

PwC.

PwC has a more well known brand, type of work will be similar. PwC has marginal better exit opps primarily due to alumni size and generally more well known brand. That being said, no one who is going to hire you because you worked a PwC is not not going to know who KPMG is, it becomes more about what relationship/experience they’ve had with that firm.

I’m biased, K

I am in your target practice. Great brand, even within the firm I think it’s one of the better practices in FS.

Type of work is very much large scale ops transformation focused on first line (think LIBOR transitions), process assessment and improvement, trade settlements projects, some level of business risk work, etc

PwC wins
