If you had to pick between Deloitte GPS or PwC Advisory, what would it be? Similar salary, rank, and cost of living cities. Thanks!

Could be substantially different kinds of work.

On the GPS side, assuming it's federal work, D projects range anywhere from long term more or less permanent staff aug, to substantial amounts of PMO work, to fairly exciting true modernization/transformation work, both on the business side and IT side.

Unless you're in a technical role (e.g. cloud architect), you'll likely have the opportunity to do a broader variety of work at D and make a larger impact. No joke, when I was there, a good SM friend of mine was hands on helping shape and implement the policies for the ACA, which directly impacts tens of millions of people. The work I personally did on the DoD electronic health care record acquisition during my time there will eventually directly impact the way ~14 million people a year receive health care from the DoD. You're likely not going to have that kind of (potential) societal impact on the commercial side. Of course, you're more liable to get stuck in some back office PMO doing staff aug for XYZ agency, but the opportunity *is* there in GPS to really make a huge societal impact.

If that doesn't matter to you, go PwC. Long term career/comp growth opportunity is higher there. WLB will likely be substantially worse, though.

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.
