None because chasing prestige in tier 3 means nothing. Invent is better out of the 3 though

Not a huge amount of difference but it does vary based on the type of work you’d be doing.

For big transformation & tech I’d go Cap.

For energy I’d go Baringa.

I don’t know as much about PA.

PA for public Sector/Defence tech Cap. Invent. Not sure about Baringa. Not sure prestige for your CV means anything

Is Baringa the saying in big bang theory? Never heard about this firm … are they baristas?

funny

Come on now lol You’re clearly not in Energy

Depends on your sector and the type of consulting you do?

In ex invent and respect them on technology consulting.

PA is cool but only if we’re talking public sector.

Baringa again is a specialty organisation.

The comment about invent being cheap staff aug is BS lmao, that’s different parts of capgemini.

I’ve seen a few job openings at Frog which sound similar to the transformation roles Invent typically does actually. I suspect in some teams, they are going after the same slice of the pie.

In whose eyes? Seems like unless it’s MBB, no one’s looking at any consulting experience particularly favourably atm so I would follow the money

Baringa and PA. Cap invent is mainly known for cheap and delivery augmentation resource.

Maybe they’re not cheap, but isn’t that what Baringa does (or at least used to) too? Many lone wolves as staff aug.

They’re all kind of the same. What capability do you work in? Baringa has a good rep for energy, PA and Cap public sector - Cap specifically for IT / tech transformation work

Go for money. Who cares about the name of company.

PA is good in public sector and defence as others have said. Morale is low right now but I think that’s everywhere tbh
