How do the consultancy functions in these firms compare to one another? Most guides to the consulting industry don't even rank KPMG in the top 50 while Deloitte is consistently there as are PWC & EY.I know KPMG sold its advisory function some years back and have been rebuilding it since about 2005 but I thought this was the same for PWC & EY, so is KPMG's function that bad?!

Anybody?

What have you looked at that doesn't show KPMG in top 50?! Link here shows 20 Consultancies by different rankings, including revenue and MBA hires. http://www.careers-in-business.com/consulting/consrank09.htmOf the four you've given, personal opinion is Deloitte are the best, but all are good brand names. Depends what you're interested in really.
