Which is a better choice? Second year Senior Consultant at Deloitte on a path to promotion to Manager next year OR Manager at PwC in the Quality Engineering practice? PwC is offering just 20% more compensation but I’ve been told this practice is like a startup with limited resources and struggling to make its place in the industry. Should I take this offer or stay at Deloitte which has a more stable, strong and seasoned practice ? How different is the culture and WLB at PwC Vs Deloitte?

Take any “path to promotion next year” promise with a HUGE pinch of salt. Common thing said to get you in the door just to keep you at level next promo cycle.

Agreed, considering the counter offer I’m actually seeing my chances of promotion diminish now

Can’t speak for the practice quality, but I’d probably take PwC or at least see if D will counter. A guaranteed M position is better than the path to one and you can always boomerang or move elsewhere if you don’t love it. But you’ll have PwC M on your resume instead of D SC.

Yep, it is risky and I am definitely giving up my WLB …but now that I’m hearing everyone’s thoughts I’m thinking of going for PwC due to the learning opportunities.
I guess I’ve gotten comfortable at D and that’s not always a good thing.

Thanks so much for your inputs :)

What do you want to do long term and have you confirmed what Quality Engineering entails at PwC? It sounds like testing, primarily, so just wanted to confirm if that’s correct.

Appreciate your inputs. Hearing your experience is helping me think clearly. I know I want the Title and the bump plus it’s an equally reputed firm so how different can it really be.
Thanks so much :)
