BA at McKinsey. ✔️

Key here is to understand *prestige* that sets you up for years after exiting McKinsey.

I had a similar decision (manager at Deloitte vs associate at McK), chose McK and couldn’t be happier with the choice. The progression is so quick that the difference in level won’t really impact you long term, and the brand/experiences of McK are more than worth it

Agreed - while D can open a ton of doors, it just can’t compare to Mck. Only scenario I’d choose D is maybe you really don’t like working the long hours, but even then those happen at D just not to the same extent

Hi Fishes,

Does
Deloitte USI have any cool down period, if you apply and do not get any response from the company? I had previously applied in a role, but didn't hear back from them. So, I'm planning to try to apply via referral this time and I'm wondering if I should use the same e-mail ID or a different one! Deloitte USI

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
