收到accenture consulting analyst program 同 pwc public sector consulting offer 想問應該點揀



先睇吓間firm as a whole。Worldwide嘅評語同ranking整體都會favourable to PwC consulting,始終consulting/advisory業務較廣泛,用Vault ranking嚟睇(如上圖)2020年PwC排第8,而Accenture排第11;講開淨睇Public Sector,原來Accenture排第三,PwC反而第5,其他範疇參見以下兩圖:

不過話說回頭,ranking呢啲嘢好死,反正兩間都係top tier又差唔遠,加上gradjob又應該暫時睇番香港market同出路,所以我都睇咗好耐唔同人嘅LinkedIn profiles。當然可以expect嘅係,PwC Management Consulting on Public Sector嘅人係好少,如果想知其實係做咩嘅可見下圖:

簡單嚟講,就係幫唔同Public Sector organisations去build the city,advising on public policies同implement new processes or tech等,做嘅範疇好似好宏觀但期實反而真係政府政策level;相反Accenture就比較industry-focus,貼近番啲大家認識嘅management consulting。Accenture係有佢做開嘅industries,可見下圖:

Accenture嘅programme就係train你做一個management consulting generalist,你接到嘅project係唔會限於某一industry(at least within programme...),感覺上作為一個好天真好傻,未熟晒各行各業,一個未定性嘅fresh grad好似彈性同空間大啲,情況就有啲似大家都想入MT rotational programmes咁,有得走位,試過先快定;而PwC就唔洗講,你已經入揀定team。

最後講吓career path。睇番上圖係我唯一搵到比較有指標性嘅profile reference,如果入PwC條path就會傾向可以入一啲有關Town planning / policy-driven嘅公司,例如MTR或直程入政府;如果係Accenture,睇你自己爭咩job做啦。 Conclusion就係一句廢話,人工其次,反正大家都知某一間總會低少少。要揀就要睇你想入咩sector同exposure,想做policy類就P,想試下先想有tech training嘅就A。All the best 🤞🏻

咁想問呢,我聽accenture既人講佢地好似做好多digital transformation project,通常0.5-2年,我驚會有啲悶。反而pwc public sector consulting好似多啲strategy projects, avg timespan會比較短,係你既認知入面係唔係真啊?
