Big 4 or Civil Service Graduate Programme?

Appreciate they’re very different careers, but would one be better than the other for someone who’s not yet sure what they want to do long-term?

Interestingly, Civil Service better paid by quite a lot. On the other hand, Big 4 provides training and an accountancy qualification.

Any thoughts?

there have been identical threads in the past - maybe you could find them and contact the people making the decision to see how they feel about it in hindsight.

Hmm I'd probably go for big 4 , then again corporate is very different to government sector so maybe research that a bit and what you really want to go into
