Sick and tired of feeling like I don't belong cause Accenture doesn't fit in its own category. There's MBB and the Big Four, where do I belong?

Here's the thing. There used to be a big 5. Arthur Anderson and Anderson Consulting split. Then, AA went under, and we changed our name. Since then, we went public and our share price has grown 800%, not to mention how much we've grown in head count (probs 500%). There's no longer a single category that makes sense for us. We compete with everyone by design. As a business, our model works.

As far as the non-MBB consultancies go, we're not exactly a startup, but our growth has been ridiculous. I hated working at Accenture, but you can't deny it's legitimacy as a major player in the industry. Wall Street certainly doesn't, our clients don't, and you shouldn't really care about most pricks on this app, anyway.

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?
