Not looking to get into a weeny-measuring contest between firms, just genuinely curious: do you think the name PwC really carries much clout when moving out of consulting? I kind of just took the job thinking it was a solid job where I could hopefully learn a lot and I’d get out whatever I put in, but I’ve heard some people say it really opens doors? Big 4s in general (excluding Parthenon, Strategy&, those groups) don’t carry the same weight that a mbb would to people outside consulting right?

People outside consulting dont care or dont know. I left pwc a few months ago and went to a manufacturing company, one of the division presidents at my new company thought pwc was a pvc pipe company…

It’s a well-respected firm that looks phenomenal on a resume. Most hiring managers from the exit opps you’d be interested in will know PwC & look favorably upon you. Is it as “prestigious” as MBB? Maybe not. But your exit opps will most likely still be pretty similar if you’re capable.

Agreed, it's all about the optics

Outside of consulting I don’t think there’s much clout, of course depending on what industry. I’ve noticed that most people I know that aren’t in the business world don’t even know what the Big 4 is

Eh… brand matters but your work experience and how you interview is more important imo. Brand might help you get an interview and make you “seem” more qualified but ultimately if you aren’t a rockstar you’re not gonna magically get the jobs you want.

depends on where you're moving to also. A big bank or major client will probably have a positive impression, but someone else might have no idea.

I'm at one of the most recognizable names in consulting, but had a tech recruiter say "I've never heard of that place, could you tell me a little about what you do?" a few days ago... 😢

funny

(Obviously within consulting we all know where we stand, mainly asking about how people outside of consulting feel, if they feel any particular way at all)

It should give you an advantage. I would take advantage of it if I were you. Highlight it as much as you reasonably can.

I think so, especially on the consulting side!

No, most people in industry will know it as an accounting firm, if at all. That said, not sure why you need “clout”

P what? Never heard of the place
