In Reply To: I would definitely choose Diamond. The Big 5 are so big and beaurocratic that you really take your chances when you join. Some groups will give you great experience but many more will be horrendous places to work. AS for prestige, you will quickly realize that so many people have worked for a Big 8 --> Big 6 --> now Big 5 firm along the way that it really impresses very few people. It really serves more as a stamp of approval than a truly prestigious experience (like true strategy firms). Thus, if you think you will like Diamond better, there is no reason not to go there. I am an MBA at a top 10 and they have a very good and quickly improving rep. Good Luck
Message: I have an offer from both. what are your thoughts?
