Re:"I also know that engineering/compsci probably gets a slightly (~3-6k) higher offer because there is less training for them."
Who keeps telling the new hires that Accenture offers training? Other than the 2-week "how to stop being a college kid and start talking and walking like an Accenture resource" orientation that campus hires get, I haven't seen any training offered here nor have their been any email announcements that ACN is about to start offering any new benefits, including training. (Yes, some of the documentation in the internal HR info database mentions something about official training budget guidelines, but official and reality are two different things -- it's like those infomercials: "these results are not typical; 99.99% of customers had much less results.")
Engineering majors, CIS majors etc. get the same training as non-IT related majors such as English, Business, History, Accounting or Political Science majors: NONE.

If you look in the portal, you will see something that mentions "budgets" for training, but it is rare that anyone ever really gets to use any of it. You pretty much either get a CBT to work on at your desk, a 2 hour vendor presentation (which you are sometimes told to charge to "training", even though no internal training money is being spent), or, the most likely case, you just learn on the job from the client's people.
