Accenture vs KPMG
Hello, i am evaluating the offer between Accenture’s and KPMG: Accenture Capabilty Network CFO & EV Base $86,500 Sign on $8,500 Chicago KPMG Financial Management Base $82,500 Sign on Bonus $7,500 NYC I need some advise on which one to choose.
After checking what Cfo&ev is I had the impression that role is pure consultancy job that you do what is required by project/client. That's fun and challenging but it won't likely give you an expertise /skill beyond "consultant". KPMG may give you the financial Manager skill/title. Decide on below points which city you want to live in? How much travel is included/expected? Cost of living etc.
You really need to look at the cost of living. 86k in Chicago goes a lot further than 82k in NYC.
Both involves 80-90% travel. Only curve ball is that KPMG is willing to let me fly from my home city(Philly) and Accenture is asking me to move to Chicago.
You can request a transfer let from Accenture. You don’t need a year make a transfer at Accenture.
In my opinion, KPMG. Salary difference isn’t that much. Besides, It’s big 4. You can leave it for other big4 (EY or Deloitte) in the future for a better salary hike.
