u r lucky...many pple dont have the luxury of choice. well kpmg u may rise fast lakini stress utaipata....ata deloitte. external audit,deloitte. consultancy,kpmg. money wise...thats not too hard to find out on your own.

....be it unto me according to your word ohh God!

@Jos Deloitte = Excellent training,little stress (compared to other big 4),slowish promotions,Salary u already know vis a

KPMG=

Are u implying u have offers from the 2 firms? You are so lucky dude!

@JosMon

I once worked for both and I can tell you Deloitte is the way to go. The money will be less but the work environment is fantastic. Stress levels are much lower and the work life balance is great. However,if you thrive in an organisation with strong structures and processes then KPMG wins on this (Deloitte is a very down to earth,fluid environment while KPMG is more rigid). In Deloitte,your relationships with partners and senior mgrs counts much more toward your promotion while in KPMG its more about your delivery. Dont let the money issue be a consideration because many years rom now you will look with hindsight and realise the monetary difference was only pennies.

All the best but you wont go wrong with Deloitte..it still ranks as my best employer ever.

Thanks all for the info..

@ Ondiek
I'd thought corporate finance was the way to go but it turns out they do not take new graduates...one has to have served for at least 3yrs in another position b4 you can join this department.

I'd be leaning more towards the audit side as I'm looking mainly at getting experience.

one more question though...
'You work for the partner and not the firm!'
kindly please elaborate on this...don't seem to get the gist of the statement


@nimimi
Actually,it seems Deloitte is paying more than KPMG but only by a few quid which when taxed seems pretty much the same.


@ all
I've decided to start tallying the votes and see how it goes. I'll continue doing my own research as well but I'd really appreciate your help...I know SK has all kinds of people who might have worked in these firms or have pals who've worked in these firms

so here it is

Deloitte - 1 vote(nimimi)

KPMG - 1 vote (Ondiek)
