So I'm currently in the process of interviewing with KPMG for graduate consulting opportunities, (I thought I bombed the telephone interview but apparently not), and the track I'm going down is Management Consulting. What I've recently been wondering however, is whether I should have chosen to apply for The Strategy Group instead. Both are under Business Consulting, and to be honest when I read the descriptions neither seemed very different from each other: http://www.kpmgcareers.co.uk/graduates/graduate-programmes/advisory/business-consulting/strategy#.Us0XTbTOch4vshttp://www.kpmgcareers.co.uk/graduates/graduate-programmes/advisory/business-consulting/management-consulting#.Us0W77TOch4I suppose one does have the name 'Strategy' in the title but does it make a difference? KPMG is a great firm and I've done an internship there before, but nobody stays at one firm forever. If I eventually wanted to go to a boutique strategy firm or even at a strong tier-2 strategy house like OC&C or Parthenon would choosing Management count against me?I'm leaning towards no, they're both entry level positions at a Big 4 firm and I'm pretty sure people will expect me to know absolutely nothing coming in either way. Just looking for some confirmation.

Years ago (could be different now) I believe the KPMG Strategy Group was very largely Commercial Due Dilligence focused, for private equity firms. I'm unfamiliar with their MC work.

I'm in the same situation as you, applied for the KPMG management consulting graduate role and then thought about whether I should have applied for strategy. Like you say, working for a big 4 in MC should enable the path to strategy house later down the line.I've got my phone interview next week so I'm doing a bit of preparation (done one with Deloitte so I know its competency based etc.). Were there any questions in the interview you found hard or just normal competency stuff? Also, I've had work experience with KPMG before, did you talk about this a lot in your phone interview. When asked why KPMG? etcCheers

@ DanIt definitely sounded that way from the web page, lots of financial stuff, a little bit of acquisitions advisory. Management Consulting sounded a bit more broader and open-ended which I thought made it a better learning experience.@LharissI definitely stressed my experience with them, and honestly it was a great experience so it was quite easy to bring up. Wikijob I think has quite a quite detailed question bank for their interviews and the key thing is just to not get nervous. If you've already done one before you should be fine.
