[quote]its not gone that low, still above 30k, with a reasonable sign on bonusignoring marsday's comment.... can anybody comment on the difference in ones future career prospects when joining a grad scheme in tech consulting vs strategy consulting...?... I've heard are strategy consultants are more sought after in general (for example) and can command better salaries?[/quote]I wasn't trying to be unhelpful just a little sarcastic.Acn is a great place to start your career - and with an offer in hand you stand to gain nothing from comparing it to other consulting firms, or tech to strat for that matter. You would be better placed to spend your energies asking about Acn, get as much as you can about the internal workings of Acn, the kind of projects you'll work on and so forth. What I was getting at is dont fall into the grass could be greener trap this early on. As for strat commanding better salaries, true to a point. But get enough experience in tech and it levels out as you move up your career - a tech star at Google or FB likely making as much as a MBB Partner and with something concrete to show for their effort too.
