Deloitte Over KPMG

It’s pretty difficult to switch to commercial for most folks. Just something to consider if you go to GPS

like

My concern is being pigeonholed into federal work and not being able to switch to commercial after learning Deloitte. I’m currently an analyst at AFS and going to KPMG would mean making a lateral move and no pay increase while going to Deloitte would mean a level up + a pay increase. I’ve had success getting interviews at FAANG + big tech even with my federal consulting background but I’m afraid that going to GPS will make it more difficult to do that again in the future or land other commercial consulting roles. I’m also very unhappy at AFS so I would like to leave ASAP. I’ve been applying and interviewing for months and these are the only offers I’ve gotten.

C1, for most, working on commercial projects isn’t impossible, but the actual transfer is next to impossible. It happens, but it is 5x easier to leave for commercial consulting than to transfer.

If you want technical work, a decent variety of clients and teams, I’d go to KPMG commercial

I switched from Deloitte GPS to KPMG commercial

Work on cooler projects and clients, get paid dramatically more, and work less.

Not everyone’s situation, but I have no regrets making the move and have seen MANY GPS people here from Deloitte

like

Came from Deloitte too- this statement is all too true. Interesting work and able to set boundaries.

D better name but seems like way worse of any place in terms of wlb, so I’d steer clear

That do sound nice D3…every M/SM I see just works 7-7. Not sure I get paid enough for those hours :)

Deloitte. Even if you’re more passionate about commercial work you can switch to that side of D via networking. Also, commercial exit opps are still open to GPS people

I just left D GPS TO EY commercial

Commercial, higher pay long run and you can always choose to go into Fed if you want. Much harder to go the other way. Also more exit opportunities

Have interviewed a couple of people from WK over the past few weeks and have been hearing a lot about how it’s becoming a pretty horrible place to work since Susan came onboard. The criticism was more around actually working there than the work itself but is it really that bad? One of the candidates was saying that many of the good creatives have been leaving or are planning to leave because of this. I haven’t ever worked for Susan so I have no clue. Anyone heard anything similar?

2) Are Strategy roles better perceived than Marketing roles and will have higher long-term pay potential? (I went to business school where almost everybody wants to do Strategy...)

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
