EY vs. Deloitte Consulting

I got an offer from EY advisory but I'm considering passing it up in order to interview at Deloitte. I would be taking up a Supply Chain Management Consulting position at both companies.

I'm mainly considering this for two reasons:

1) Deloitte generally has a bigger brand name (at least in Canada), so the exit opportunities are better
2) I hate living in Toronto, Canada (lol) so I'm looking for international opportunities desperately. I want my consulting opportunity to lead me somewhere new, and Deloitte seems to be a more international firm. This is specially true since they're merging their Asia operations.

All of this said, I'm not sure if it's worth it. Do you think these facts line up?

If not, I might just consider staying at EY since I liked their culture, I would be closing doors with them if I give up the opportunity, and I'm interested in their FSA program (which seems to be great).

Thanks in advance.

 

consultant120 n95smiles thanks for your help. Yes, unfortunately I do. The interview times between Deloitte S&O and EY Performance Improvement are very different in Toronto this year. I have to respond to EY by the end of this week and they didn't allow for an extension of the consideration period. The S&O interview doesn't come around until January.

 

Take EY and don't look back. Regarding your two concerns:

  1. Deloitte has marginal brand advantage but by in large they are peer firms. Exit opps will not differ by much.
  2. Deloitte doesn't really have a true global partnership model so there's less room to maneuver on that front anyway.
 

OP, can you just accept at EY and still interview at Deloitte? If you get the role with S&O, just renege/return the EY bonus? This happens all the time.

consultant120 I am def considering doing that. Even though it's not the politest thing to do, I've heard it happens all the time at bigger firms.

I'm not sure how Deloitte compares to EY when it comes to international opportunity though. Like @beefjerky said, EY might have a more consolidated global network. They do flaunt international opportunities more as well it seems. Any thoughts?
