Hi everyone!I recently received offers from EY (Technology Advisory Program) and PwC (Technology Consulting - Advisory) in US.For EY, I chose Chicago as a preferred location as its a big city and central to the country. For PwC, I chose San Jose as PwC has the biggest clients there and is #1 on west coast.However I am confused between the two.EY's vision 2020 is very impressive and they want Advisory to grow exponentially to achieve the 2020 goal. I have also read about layoffs in tech advisory and business advisory in EY in 2013 so am concerned about that but overall, I had an awesome experience interviewing with EY. People seemed genuine and the interviews were challenging. Also, EY is big in assurance making it difficult for advisory to reach out to the same clients they are serving in assurance (regulatory compliance).PwC has a big advisory business and thus more opportunities. The interview process with PwC was brilliant but since everyone I met at the company was singing praises about PwC, and given their long working hours, it made me suspicious that they were not being genuine. Also, I personally know a director in PwC and am inconstant touch with him via emails. Does having a connection/mentor at the top help that much?I am very confused which company to choose. Pay does not matter much to me right now but I want to make the best choice between the 2 to enhance my future prospects. Please help!
