Accenture with more dumb questions...

Let’s assume a 20 year career for each. For consulting, let’s say from analyst to managing director. For oil and gas, let’s say from entry level Engineering position, to wherever you end up in 20 years( I do not know the hierarchy). I do know that oil and gas entry level salaries are higher than consulting entry level salaries, but the progression is a lot slower. At the end of 20 years, who has made more?

I do oil and gas consulting at Accenture. I did it at Deloitte before this. Got an offer from Shell a couple years ago, but would require month long trips to the middle of the Middle East (wouldn’t work with newborn). I plan to stay in consulting then switch when/if a perfect role comes up.

EY 1, how is it a dumb question? Do you know the answer?

Oil and gas

Oil and gas for sure! I worked in the industry - the only downside is the job gets boring. If you end up as an expat in a “difficult to work” environment, you’d be making as much as double your pay with almost all expenses paid - not to mention stock options and loads of family allowances/benefits.

This answers my question. Thank you

Oil and Gas is highly cyclic. 15 years from now this is the industry that is most likely to be completely different from what it is now. Consider these things too.
