Do you have offers yet? Don’t get ahead of yourself
Chief
So reach back out for info to make the choice when you get the offers 🙂
No point spending time on a decision that doesn’t exist yet
Now that’s confidence if I’ve ever seen it

Happy to refer to PwC if they don’t work out

How about you get into one of them....then you can figure out which one to pick.
This sounds a lot like when my nephew asks me which super model he should date....(like he will ever even get the chance)

Ana de armas. Final answer.

I just went to the gym. I’m considering joining the NFL or the NBA. Which should I choose?? Leaning towards football for the views, but basketball pays more I hear
Rising Star
Basketball would probably be a better bet, better risk adjusted salary (less CTE)
Why not Bain?
Rising Star
I’d rather work at McKinsey or BCG, just haven’t decided which yet

Whichever one takes you, or barring that, Accenture
Good luck with the application. In case you get both offers, congratulations. I did the following a year ago:
Explained both offices the situation and asked if I could come to the office for 1 hour, just looking around and having lunch with some colleagues. Was no problem for both (in Germany) and in the end I just decided it based on the people I met. Wouldn’t worry too much about compensation or brand (don’t know the specifics in the U.S. but would assume differences in both areas are neglectable). At the end it comes down to the people you will spend 12+ hours together for multiple weeks and oftentimes there are differences across offices as well. But either way, both great choices.
omg this is so funny
Leave the happy headache for later.
Whichever one
A) gives you an offer
And/or
B) you have a better fit with.
Brand doesn’t mean enough to overshadow fit.
I always pick brand if you have the grit and can tough it out couple of years then leave for a diagonal promotion

In case you guys were wondering, I joined McKinsey. Turned down Bain.

No interview, or I would’ve had the hat trick :(
