Not to be rude @P1, but that sounds... aspirational

I’ve only met a few people from Strategy&, but none of them were that big. I’ve seen some huge guys at Deloitte. I think we can take em.

SC1 - dictionary suggests “denoting something that arouses respect / admiration”. Make sense?

But is Strategy& more difficult to get into than Harvard 🤔

For prestige, strategy& since they go after the same talent as MBB, OW, and etc, whereas Deloitte S&O does not. But Deloitte S&O probably has a better integrated strategy consulting and MC offering.

BCG1, just going by what I’ve been seeing in MBA employment placement reports, and maybe adding a bit of a pwc bias :)

Uncle D has some great benefits. Depends on your requirements list 😜

I’d say we’re likely very similar to the Strategy practice at Deloitte. We’re more differentiated from a perception / brand perspective relative to our parent than our similars at Deloitte. I would say - as is often the case in consulting - it’s probably highly practice dependent.

Also, I agree with BCG. The above characterization from PWC is probably not fair (but I appreciate the brotherly support!). We do target the same schools as MBB, but no candidate chooses us over BCG out of b school. It’s also true that we compete with them for work and win our share.

Both D and S& have their benefits. Choosing is a good problem to have.

S&. In what industry?

Yeah... we’re growing too, rapidly.

Think which firm is growing. You will grow faster if you are delivering and bringing dollars. Both are equal in terms of exit opportunities. Deloitte will be better given the growth. Growth means more Ps who will need more SMs and so on. Ton of early promotes at D. Need folks to be elevated to deliver

I think, Strategy& in terms of doing strategic engagements is somewhere between Deloitte and MBBs. Significant chunk of Deloitte S&O is PMO on tech projects. Now, not sure if that is the direction Strategy& will head to given the parent, but at least it’s not a norm right now.

like

Wtf is prestige?

Who cares - just do your job

DD1 pretty much every firm is growing...

We do a bit of PMO too. When the phase zero / phase one strategy engagement goes well often some of the team will remain for further phases. I think that’s a pretty common model these days.

Tech projects is where the money is at. Even though strategy consulting is more glamorous, tech projects pay more and offer long term security. It is the future

Also - you’re comparing S& to D when you should be comparing it to Monitor.

Does D go to Market as Monitor in the US? I thought that was mostly Europe with parts of S&O doing the strategy work in the states.
