Even a cursory google search will inform you that 2 are almost incomparable to the 3rd. I question if this is purely an academic question because honestly, no one who has an offer from these three firms would compare them.

BCG has better culture, better travel, better leadership, better compensation and better work.

I can’t comment on the particular differences between KMPG and Deloitte but this is because - despite what the Deloitte folks would tell you - the two are way closer to each other than they are to BCG.

Mostly post merger integration work at deloitte and KPMG. Grunt work really with long hours managing clients who by default hates each other.

Just choose Deloitte. The worst that can happen? you’re either laid off or knocked unconscious during Fight Club.

Sounds great right?

Don’t forget PWC.. I heard they’re growing their IT M&A practice rapidly.

BCG has no “IT M&A perspective”. Even at BCG Platinion we don’t have as narrow of a scope in our firm

Deloitte has a mature and dedicated practice. BCG has a very strong M&A practice and brings in technology expertise as needed, but i wouldn’t say they go to market as “IT M&A”... that being said, we work with the tech PE’s much more than Deloitte does

Thank you all for your input - greatly appreciate it.

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?

Could anyone provide me with a quick analysis on emissions for cars? My country is considering to lower the speed limit in the night to 100 km/h (currently 130 km/h on some highways). I wonder whether this actually has a positive influence on emissions? Because the decreased speed also results in longer travel times. And aren’t the emissions very car specific as well? I can imagine old cars would be more polluting but I doubt if there would be a difference for modern cars? And what about fuel?

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
