From what I’ve gathered over the years, the services between the big 4 are all nearly the same at a macroscopic level. For example, Deloitte may claim to have blockchain services in Cyber Risk, but what they really mean is that there’s a small group of people with specialized knowledge on blockchain tech that have one or more of the following put together: Training modules, market offerings proposals, a proof of concept of some sort within a specific area or sets of areas, a set of staff that they can put on projects, and a bunch of material that they can throw into impressive slide decks or reports. Now if that group of people decided to leave for say PwC, or if PwC managed to hire people with similar knowledge, then Poof! PwC now offers state of the art Blockchain services.
Where the REAL differences between the firms lie is at a microscopic level like the culture of the office in your region, the attitude and character of the staff, managers and leadership you work with, the types of clients you have the opportunity to work for, etc. For example - working for Deloitte in the SF region might be fantastic in that Clients are awesome, leadership is friendly and enterprising, highly encouraged work life balance, culture is relaxed and easy going, etc. Whereas if you move to L.A., working for Deloitte might feel heavily political, bureaucratic and a drag, whereas working at EY might be kickass there in a similar way to Deloitte in SF. I personally moved from L.A. to SF and experienced this difference, but it could have been different for someone else. So it’s important to really do your homework before you move employers or places
Prestige is a waste of time. Go where you like the people and work.
Prestigious? Give me a break
EY has roughly 15% more prestige than Deloitte
If prestige is your concern, don't worry about advisory x vs. y, worry about advisory vs. consulting.
In Deloitte’s mind, yes.
LOL @ prestige between big 4 firms. Talk about splitting hairs
The only prestige in consulting is Mc🐝’s dank memeology. Any maybe McKinsey just a little bit
Agree with D2. Clarification EY Advisory is split into Performance Improvement and Risk. Deloitte has Advisory and Consulting. EY Performance Improvement = Deloitte Consulting. EY Risk = Deloitte Advisory.
Great post D2. Very fair and, in my view, accurate
Hahaha ... prestigious !!!
No. Apart from Deloitte Advisory, there’s also Deloitte Consulting (more “prestigious” than Deloitte Advisory) while EY only has advisory service line. This makes EY Advisory as “prestigious” as Deloitte Consulting and more "prestigious” than Deloitte Advisory.
Deloitte Advisory = EY Assurance, so yes
Hence the great con EY continues to pull^
Agree with M1.
M1 is right. I was at EY in the Performance improvement group. Now I am in Deloitte Consulting in the Strategy and Operations group
