Market research is same as competitive intelligence and can be both prinary or secondary market research. Forecasting people use tools to predict competitive prices and sales/growth, etc. Consulting is all-encompassing. A company can give you the name of Consultant for a CI or forecasting role, or they may have a single dept where every person does both CI (maybe both prinary and sec research) and forecasting and Insights and strategy. Small companies will help you learn more as they will make you do every team's job; big companies will be the place to earn but not learn much.

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role. Would it be a good career decision for someone coming from GRC firms like Kroll, Control Risk or Exiger? I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.
