Not meant to be a controversial post. Received an offer from KPMG. Cool group. Makes sense to move but, is the KPMG brand name going to hurt branding/exit opps. Firm does seem to get ripped a lot.

Graduated from an M7 Bschool. None of my classmates were KPMG, we did have a few PwC, all advisory folks (no assurance or audit). Hope that helps you make your decision.

Or is this just childish ego on the part of other consultants and firms and doesn't impact B school placement and exit opps at all...

Market research. Vault. Gartner. Rankings. Etc. you don't sound like you want to move over so maybe you should not take the offer.

OP - within the B4, the Deals practice is a leader. They all compete as they all have some form of M&A/DD group, but KPMG won the Anderson lottery and is the leader. Other firms are buying their talent to establish stronger groups themselves. The difference is what happens beyond FDD - and that's where nobody is truly able to compete. If it was their advisory (consulting) practice, I'd say stick to PW. From a Deals stance, they can go many places upon exit.

B4s carry a strong brand, regardless. Some are stronger in some areas than others, but nobody will say a b4 will hurt or limit you.

OP, Which practice did you get an offer from?

I was there 2 years, depends on the practice and what kind of work you want to do after. Personally I like PwC better though

FDD TS

flagged for controversy and obscenity!!!

They have a reputation of being cut rate.

What city op?? I've met a lot of the FDD team in Chicago

@S2- chicago. @the KPMG deal folks- do not want this turning into a my dick is bigger than yours but on what grounds do you say KPMG has the best deals practice because I have literally never heard that. Serious question

@S2- sorry, New York*** lol

Pretty sure Bain has the best deals practice.

@K2 - no need to take it personally

Wait Accenture think they have that much of a better brand 😂

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

How do you not care / stress way too much about your job? I am a mom and stressed out most workday evenings thinking about the work / interactions during the day.

I could literally leave my job & focus on kids alone & be fine as husband is in a executive position. Yet, it’s my own career focus & my self induced stress and pressure that takes a toll on me. What’s your advice for me?
