Ta, was after the move for awhile. I moved firm to make it happen though, got a bit more ££ but that wasn't really a factor.

Would be interested in hearing how you did it as well! I'm having quite the existential crisis about my results not going well atm, a reasoned mind/successful voice would be very helpful.

Is Nottingham uni a v v small chance of Management / Strategy consulting? (Note i realise MBB is v unrealistic, but moreso in regards for Big 4 / Accenture / Smaller boutiques like LEK, AT Kearney) and not to mention recently acquired big 4 strategy houses (Strategy& + Parthenon + Monitor)?

Strategy houses and MBB are both very tough but I know a few grads with Firsts, solid extra curriculars and Goldman/Morgan Stanley internships that have broken in from Notts.

Big 4 is still very competitive (especially Deloitte S&O) but more doable from Notts. Accenture is realistic.

I'm off to Notts myself dude.

ah im just entering 3rd year! got big 4internship, tons of good ecs / work experience, degrees now on a 2:2 though lol which is v peak. If your interested in consulting id recommend joining 180 degrees consulting (message me for more info) which we're hoping to form some links with the strategy/management consulting sides of the big 4 and other consultancies

In terms of consulting how presitigious is consulting at Accenture? Obviously not on par with MBB but is it still highly regarded?
How would MBB, Oliver Wyman, LEK, Big four, Accenture be ranked in terms of prestige?

I'll give it a crack. Accenture isn't 'prestigious' as in affords one the brand name to move into Private Equity/Venture Capital or become a senior leader within an organisation in half the time but it has a recognisable name. If you don't land anything at the top end - it's a solid bet.

I'll have a crack at this - in the UK:

McKinsey, BCG
Bain
(big gap)
Deloitte S&O/Deloitte Monitor
Oliver Wyman, LEK, Roland Berger
Strategy&
Parthenon-EY
(gap)
OC&C
AT Kearney
Marakon
Simon-Kuchers
(gap)
PwC
Accenture
EY
KPMG
IBM

Wow really? I wouldn't have thought Accenture or PwC would be this low? I always regarded Accenture as a solid second tier consilting firm.

They are but this ranking is based on 'prestige' not necessarily the relative strengths of each. PwC consulting doesn't really compete in the same deals as Deloitte, Oliver Wyman etc.

IMO:

MBB

Deloitte/monitor deloitte
At Kearney, Oliver Wyman, Parthenon EY, Strategy& PWC

OC&C,, LEK, Accenture, Marakon, PWC normal, Deloitte normal, Simon

IBM, KPMG, EY,

it must be said it is a really grey area. the main distinction is MBB >>>>>> Deloitte >> the strategy houses of pwc/ey .

Then its a grey area really but really the main strategy boutiques tend to be above the more tech focused firms and acturial firms

putting oc and c that low is mental, extremely prestigious and if salary is important, have the highest starting in consulting.

Speaking of which what is the salary of a graduate role in oc&c and how does it compare with MBB Accenture and Big four?

dont know exact oc and c salary, just know its the highest out of all the ones listed in one of the posts above, which are essentially the top ones in the country. mbb is between 38-42 i believe, maybe little less. accenture is 31k starting, then they give 5k bonuses in each of your first two years, so technically 41k guaranteed i guess?

ey is highest starting iirc, deloitte is maybe 33ish, pwc 30+2 sign on i think, may be 31 instead.
