Pwc and Deloitte do pay for Becker for interns - so unsure why you need to tell them you already got one. Also pwc also have a well being program as well. Pwc has executive annual checkup that Deloitte doesn’t. Benefits wise both companies have similar coverage - just take the job that you see yourself doing long term

While we accrue PTO, you can go negative on your vacation hours so in practice it doesn’t really matter.
Who cares about a Becker reimbursement? That’s nothing. The more important question is audit or tax? These are two completely different career options.
Agreed, and from my internship, I found that Audit is better for my future and that I liked Deloitte better. Cause had I really liked PwC I’m sure they would’ve been able to have found a spot in Audit for me.
But all that aside, I did find it interesting to actually compare the offers and benefits of the firms. And what I found, for my isolated scenario, is that my offer and benefits were better at Deloitte.
Maybe I’m misinterpreting something but what out of pocket costs are there to reimburse if Deloitte has already set you up with Becker?
100% agree with you KPMG. Between Partner leadership, pay, benefits, teams, training, networking, in-person vs WFH, clients, and offices. You start to realize that there’s a lot that goes into finding the best firm for you, and that others value different things from you too.

As someone in tax, go with audit
Definitely need to realign your focus. Do you want to have a career in audit or tax? Also, which firm did you feel better about?
To answer everyone, I liked the city my Deloitte offer is in. And more importantly, I was able to do some Tax Due Diligence at PwC, which I liked, but I want to do more of Financial Due Diligence, which aligns much more with Audit. I also really saw a big difference between the firms in that Deloitte provided much better Training and Networking opportunities than PwC did.
So in the end, I liked the service line, the culture, and the pay of Deloitte better than my PwC offer.
I was just super surprised to hear from my PwC recruiter that they wouldn’t be able to reimburse me for Becker if I went with them.(Because Deloittes policy is up to $4000 of study material is reimbursed)
There are no perfect options!
Why would you expect reimbursement for something that Deloitte paid for?! That seems entirely reasonable for them to deny it to me. PwC will pay for your exams. Also it took me a long time to pass my exams and my Becker expired. There were a ton first years who gave me their log ins so I could finish.
Also PwC recruiter’s will match most perks offered by other firms if they have any control over it whatsoever. They do not like to be out bid with intern benefits.
Imagine making a career decision based off a textbook that was already paid for by a different firm. Priorities.
Ugh, you’ve literally not read anything else in this post.
1. This absolutely was not the tipping point factor and there are many much more important reasons why I liked Deloitte better.
2. I’d have to pay Deloitte back for Becker if I went with PwC. And PwC would not reimburse me.
Imagine being an Accountant and not factoring in Opportunity Costs in decision making…… sounds like someone should’ve paid more attention to their Managerial Accounting textbook….
Consider yourself lucky. My firm only reimbursed 50%
That’s a bummer, you better like it there if that’s the case
