KPMG My wife is currently interviewing for an associate/ assistant manager at accenture and a senior associate at kpmg. Both would be in the consulting arms, HR software implementations. Any thoughts on how the levels compare between the two or other advice picking between them? Also what is a typical signing bonus offered at that level?

Accenture is excited because it’s rarely the winner of these things
Avoid KPMG
I worked at ACN, it’s awesome, great people (in my experience). The only reason I left was for a better opportunity (30% bump)
I’ve been with KPMG for over a decade. I love it. It’s very much pro employee these days. I definitely have work life balance and tons of flexibility. The pay has gotten much better over the years and it’s not the typical PA experience. It’s a more nurturing environment.
Consulting arm doesn’t have assistant or associate manager roles fyi. She is likely looking on the technology side.
Kpmg has better WLB than all other firms. Pay was lower, but now pretty much in line with all big 4 except Deloitte. ACN you will work more period.
I’ve worked at both and they’re both good options. Singing bonus isn’t super standard at either but you could probably reasonably ask for $10-15k at that level at either firm.
Associate Manager would technically be half a step up above the Senior Associate role. But at the end of the day in both you’re still a rung below manager and the comp is likely comparable (would expect it to be range of roughly $120-150k for either role). Would push for the top end of that.
HR/tech implementation stuff at kpmg shouldn’t be bad. People on that side of the house do nothing for the same pay as our side and we are slaves.
When the system you implement works but no one uses it because no one was trained because the functional teams wouldn’t give us the inputs we need for training dev., we can all cheers
Choose Accenture because better,

Accenture is great. I came from PwC.
If it’s Workday, you can try asking the same question in the workday bowl for team culture + type of projects.
Senior associates go up to 160 now (no strat) at kpmg lol. I know. It’s crazy. I thibk for most exp senior hires it’s probably be 130-150K tho.
