From what I have heard:

Career progression: Oliver Wyman
WLB: Strategy&
Salary: Oliver Wyman
Culture: Very subjective but Oliver Wyman has historically put a lot of emphasis on being friends with colleagues. Depends on the level too

This. OW “partner” pays on average less and it’s far more variable, but if you’re someone who consistently puts up big numbers you’ll make a lot more.

Oh come on, this whole thing is wildly subjective. Look for tangible differences like whether you’re joining a practice you’re interested in, where you gel better, whether you’re interested in some of the broader b4 stuff that pwc provides, etc.

Between those two, my vote would be s& as it’s bigger, broader, and better known.

Is S& actually bigger? Always thought OW is the biggest of the T2s

I’m a student majoring in Software Engineering. I’m starting my third year in a few months and have an internship where I’m learning more about working with an actual team on real-world projects. However, I feel like I need to do more to stand out and have a stronger software background. Anyone have any tips or suggestions for what I should do on my own time to strengthen my skills?
