Hi everyone,Am a fresh undergrad out of LSE and have offers from both first for their graduate/analyst programmes (both in London). As i am an international student, i was just wondering which firm has the stronger brand, career development and progression opportunities in London?

You cant go wrong with either as a brand on your CV. As you want MC work, PwC would have the edge (slightly) and if they'll sponsor you through ACA then bite their arm off. But then the training at Accenture is absolutely first class. Either will polish you to a mirror like shine. Assuming no big commitments from either around certifications, compare money on offer, because once your grad scheme is done you'll want to move on anyway, probably to the one you didnt join now.

PwC has been the UK's top graduate recruiter for the last 13 consecutive years, I believe.

As in the biggest? Surely other places such as the NHS recruit more graduates?

There is a big chance that Accenture would recruit you as a management consultant and put you on a data migration testing project for on a shitty SAP implementation......Go for PwC.

BEP - sorry, I mean the best rated, according to The Times top 100 graduate employers list

PWC has the better brand unless you want to do something quite techy.
